Yang Jiang’s four cleanest sentences:

1. No matter which level you go to in life, there are people below the steps looking up to you, and there are people above the steps looking down on you. Look up and feel inferior, keep your head down and feel complacent. Only by looking straight can you see your true self.

2. Your problem is mainly that you don’t read much but think too much.

3. If you want to train a person who can do great things, you must make him endure hardships and be unsatisfied in order to develop a persevering character.

4. There is no pure happiness in the world. Happiness is always mixed with troubles and worries, and there is no forever in the world.

Yang Jiang’s growth experience

At the age of six, Yang Jiang entered the primary school affiliated with Women’s Normal University in Picai Hutong. She doesn't go home at noon and makes meals at school. One day, when the primary school students were having lunch, a group of guests came in to visit. The person in charge was none other than Yang Jiang's third aunt, Yang Yinyu, who was the "supervisor" of the Women's Normal University at the time. As the distinguished guests arrived, the dining room was filled with solemnity, and the primary school students buried their heads in eating in complete silence.

Yang Jiang had her back to the door and did not see the situation clearly. She ate so hard that a lot of rice fell in front of her. When the third aunt saw this, she quickly walked up to her and whispered something in her ear. Yang Jiang realized it and quickly picked up the rice and put it in her mouth. The kids next to her saw it and did what she did.
