1. It is the preface, and this is also the beginning. Where there is a beginning, of course there will be an end; and the end is the beginning of the next journey. ——Xi Juan's "Love in Intertwined Time"
2. Not all endings are incomplete. Sadness will not grow like a river but will be covered by the warm and beautiful things in the statement. ——Guo Jingming's "Fantasy City"
3. It's better to just let things gather and let things disperse, and don't get entangled when they gather and don't be greedy when they disperse. Just like every petal falling to the ground, it is the end and the destination. Looking back, it is still the same world. The mountains are still the same and the trees are still the same. They are just like each other, but they have not gathered together; they are just like each other, but they have never dispersed. ——Master Yancan's "Asking the Heart"
4. The end of speculation is the beginning of belief. ——Qi Keguo's "Either This or That"
5. When you understand the past, you can't admonish it; ——Tao Yuanming of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "Come Back and Come Back"
Vernacular translation: I understand that the mistakes of the past are irreversible, but I understand that things that have not happened can still be rectified. I have indeed gone astray, but not too far away. I have realized that my current choices are correct, and my past actions are the ones who are astray.
6. Winter is coming, can spring be far behind? ——Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind"
7. The end is a new beginning. Yes, behind any ending, there is always a beginning. At the end, don't give up on the new beginning easily, look for the new beginning hidden behind the end.
Always remember in your heart: the end is a new beginning! ——San Mao's "How Many Flowers Have Fallen in a Dream"
