Yang Jiang’s most classic words are as follows:
1. We never sing patriotic tunes. Not only do we not sing, we also don’t like to listen to them. But we are unwilling to run away, unwilling to go to the country of our parents, and cannot leave our own family behind. Our country is a weak country with a lot of national humiliation. We don’t want to go out and look up to others and become second-class citizens. We are cultural people who love the culture of the motherland and the words and language of the motherland. In a word, we are stubborn Chinese people.
2. A person can condense into a stone, lurk to the bottom, and let time rush past him like water. He only knows that he is in the water and is unaware of the current.
3. In this materialistic world, life is really hard enough. If you deliberately try to be an honest person who has nothing to do with the world, others will take advantage of you and bully you. If you have the slightest talent, virtue or good looks, people will be jealous of you and exclude you. If you give in generously, others will invade and harm you. If you don't want to compete with others, you have to stay aloof from the world and at the same time maintain your strength and prepare to fight. If you want to live peacefully with others, you must first deal with them, and you must be prepared to suffer losses at any time.
4. When an ugly person looks in the mirror, he never sees how ugly he is, he only sees the beauty that others cannot see.
5. I think fate is the most unreasonable. The fate we see is unreasonable, always joking, always teasing people, and always making trouble.
6. This world is like a melting pot, which produces batch after batch of souls with different qualities and different from the original qualities.
7. The good and bad qualities of the soul are not reflected in the body.
8. We learn wisdom from sorrow and refine virtue from pain.
9. When I was young, I didn’t understand Einstein’s theory of relativity. One day, I suddenly understood that time flies and the earth rotates. Even in the same place, no day is exactly the same. I feel like this too now. I feel like every day is new. Watching the changes of leaves and listening to the chirping of birds is different every day.
10. Only those who are in humble circumstances have the best chance to see the truth of the world and human nature.
11. Laziness is also natural. Diligence requires one's own efforts. Once you relax, you will become lazy.
12. After a person undergoes different levels of exercise, he will obtain different levels of cultivation and benefits. Just like spices, the more you pound them, the finer they are ground, the stronger the fragrance becomes.
13. On the road of life, if you pursue fame, wealth and power, you will have no time to consider other famous people who may be useful to you while you are alive, but you will only be used by others after you die.
14. Mingji may be useful to himself while he is alive, but he can only be used by others after his death.
15. I will not argue with anyone, and I will disdain anyone. I love nature, followed by art. I keep myself warm by the fire of life. When the fire dries up, I am ready to leave.
