Once upon a time, General Han Xin lowered his head and endured the humiliation amidst the harsh sarcasm of the people in the market. However, Finally, he showed his pride on the battlefield with the flag fluttering, establishing the prosperous Han Dynasty; once, the young Xuan Ye lowered his head and allowed the treacherous ministers to call the wind and rain, but after several years of experience and growth, he resolutely captured Obei and created a new empire.

Countless details in life show us: Only those who can be low can be high; those who can bend can't move. Only those who can express themselves can be strong; only those who can push can advance. This is also the eternal truth of life and the eternal dialectics of nature.
