To some extent, what Du said is his own experience, which makes sense.
As we all know, Du was born in a humble background, and from a country boy with no background, he became the boss of green gang, with an all-powerful scenery. After decades of trials and hardships, the absolute monarch's life is legendary.
Du's words are very reasonable. We can gain insight into human nature from a living habit. Throughout the ages, there are almost no people who have never touched alcohol and tobacco, but they can drink more and less, and there are also a few binge drinkers. China is an individual society, and most of the affairs are related. Daily communication is inevitable. A person who doesn't drink or smoke is unpopular. In such an environment, he has almost no stage to display his talents, and most of them will be unknown and accomplish nothing.
Smoking is a bad habit, which is not good for your health. I think you can quit smoking, but you must drink. Men who don't drink probably don't deserve to make friends. China's wine culture is profound and has a long history. Wine is a comprehensive carrier of China people's morality, ideology and culture. A person can give up drinking, but he can't completely sever the relationship with alcohol all his life.
When the spring breeze is proud, drink to celebrate; On the day when you are driven out of your mind, you need wine first, and there is wine in the bridal chamber. Life is full of mixed flavors, all of which are in it. Li Taibai wrote hundreds of poems after drinking, and Xin Qiji read swords after drinking. Wine can be used as poetry and ambition.
You can't stop drinking and you can't drink too much. Drinking too much is drinking too much, it is better not to drink. Personally, I advocate moderate drinking. People who don't drink can't appreciate the beauty and amorous feelings of poetry. Most people who drink are temperamental, generous, charming and especially kind.
Few of my friends don't drink, but there are also a few friends whose friendship is average. Birds of a feather flock together, people who don't drink have nothing to say with them, and the atmosphere is dull. But it is completely different from those friends who are good at drinking. Whether we drink or not, we are in high spirits. We talk about our country and the world, Tang poetry and Song poetry, and express our thoughts. The air is full of joy.
But times have changed. Smoking and drinking or not smoking and drinking is just a habit. Some people smoke, some drink, some gamble, and some are lewd. These living habits do not determine whether a person can pay. ?
And I think the real meaning of Mr. Du's sentence should be that men who don't smoke or drink are men with strong self-control and do so on purpose. It's hard for ordinary men to do it, so he thinks such a man should be a man with deep talent and hide himself deeply, so he thinks such a man can't be handed over. If you make friends with such a man, you are easily calculated by him. Therefore, I think that men like Du should not pay. ?
