The interweaving of light and shadow feels cold to me in the midst of fervor and passion.
·-- "Ups and Downs"
Hidden deep in the scales, the pearl of the Li Dragon rests at the bottom of the sea.
·-- "Turn of the Tide"
Regardless of how despicable the means are, Pleasant Goat must defeat the Big Bad Wolf on the side of justice.
This is an unquestionable value system, a value system that we adhere to unconsciously every day.
"If you are puzzled by what is happening today, it is because you do not understand where it came from."
There are too many people without common sense, too many people who are self-righteous about their knowledge, and too many problems worth discussing as well as unworthy of discussion.
If one has sufficient understanding of the past, then they will also have sufficient understanding of the future.
For historians, a hundred years is but a flick of the finger. Millenniums come and go, and the blooming of red beans and the sprouting of willows are still limited in number. The loser leeches onto the back of the winner, pretending to be afraid, while the winner rides on the back of the loser, pretending to still possess military power.
How can there be whole eggs under an overturned nest?

Flowers near towering buildings hurt the hearts of travelers; it is difficult to reach the summit when there are many difficulties.
The situation is stronger than individuals. Under certain historical conditions, people's choices are limited, and therefore the outcome is inevitable.
Chen Yinke, as an extremely intelligent person, did he really have no foresight that surpasses hindsight today? Didn't he know the bones, soil, and echoes of ancient civilization and the northwest culture of the desert? Didn't he understand the accuracy, ruthlessness, and subversiveness that lurks behind the German modern civilization? Didn't he have the lessons of the previous failures in Xiangxiang and Nanpi in mind?
Unfortunately, he could only end his life calmly and remain loyal to his beliefs, as did the scholars of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. When a new baby is born, one can only understand the jokes about repeating left and right feet. The remaining remnants of your mountain and water have become the playground of the newcomers.
Choices are limited, and once a crossroad has passed, the outcome is almost predetermined.
The Li Dragon's red beans are like this, the willows are like this, and Qian Muzhai is like this. Everyone is like this.
Dresden had no choice, yet the people of Dresden seemed to have chosen to be bombed. This is a structural conflict.
Choices lie deep in the sea, while the surface is always noisy with storms. Ocean currents and salinity levels have accumulated for thousands of years and cannot be changed in an instant.
What can change instantly, from yesterday to today, is nothing more than the sound of the wind. The sound of the wind is the makeup artist's brush, which can completely mask, refine, and isolate the bones, soil, and echoes in civilization, turning them into something entirely different.
Just like the story of Pleasant Goat and Big Bad Wolf, going from one victory to another.
