“Live an optimistic life with a pessimistic mood, and live a living career with an inanimate awareness.” This sentence is a famous saying of Mr. Gu Sui.

Let me talk about my understanding, which is not necessarily correct: Although I view life from a pessimistic standpoint, I still maintain an optimistic attitude and spend every day of my life; even though I know that I can’t leave anything in this life, But I remained determined to pursue my career.

Mr. Gu Sui was a great master of the Republic of China. He had a rough life. He relied on his delicate heart to realize such a true meaning of life. However, if he tried to explain it forcefully, it would lose its charm. I suggest you read Mr. Gu Sui's works. The more you read, the more you will understand them.
