I would rather die to express my thoughts than live in silence.

Fan Zhongyan has a wise saying: "It is better to die with a loud voice than to live in silence." It means that it is better to die to express one's thoughts than to live in silence. Nowadays, it is often used to describe people who dare to think, dare to speak, dare to advise, speak out, and express their true insights, thoughts and feelings.

Yan Su angrily denounced some singers as "coquettish" and "gangsters", and pointedly pointed out the proliferation of entertainment where "no one is working, and there is singing and dancing everywhere". He also compared those who add fuel to the flames and wave flags to "buzzing cicadas," warning people that what society really lacks are conscientious literary and artistic workers like "woodpeckers."

These words not only reflect his high sense of responsibility for art, but also reflect the high integrity of an old literary and art worker who is selfless in his heart, has no desire for fame and fortune, and can speak boldly without any desire. People respect. To die quietly and to live without silence is not only an attitude of speaking, but also a character of speaking.

I hope that we can all carry forward this kind of virtue of gossip, become a brave person who "speaks out", and make our own contribution to stirring up the turmoil and promoting the clarification and promoting social progress.
