This famous aphorism that sparkles with wisdom contains rich philosophy of life, and also inspires and urges us to be proactive and enterprising with a peaceful mind. How many people in the world have lost their aspirations in the pursuit of fame and fortune, and have their wings broken due to short-sightedness.

"A greedy person will never be satisfied." (Master Hongyi's "French Practice"). It means: Greed for money, lust for power and vanity, these are the three pillars of public consciousness. No matter when and where they are, they support the unwavering world of mediocrity and torture those who are deeply confused. Qian Zhongshu, the author of "Fortress Besieged", a great contemporary scholar, has always been indifferent to fame and wealth. He not only declined interviews from all news media, but also declined a special invitation from the famous Princeton University in the United States. He was not willing to pay a remuneration of US$160,000 for only 40 minutes of lectures a week and 12 lectures a day.

The poet used the plain plum blossom as a metaphor to express his emotions and aspirations, and praised the noble character and integrity of people.

The land is worked hard. He places his affection on the trees and talks to them with spiritual enlightenment. His emotions and hopes are placed on every tree. Whenever he plants a tree, he seems to feel that he has another relative in the world. Heaven pays off the hard work, and those who have a will can achieve it.

He used shocking power to overcome the severe test of survival, walked out of the difficult predicament, and won Through the beautiful spring life, we can appreciate the true meaning of life of "not afraid of the floating clouds covering our eyes, just because we are at the highest level".
