Name!
At birth, a person is given a name by their elders to follow them, and those without a name thus have one.
As they grow up, they hear others' names sounding more prominent than their own, so they also wish for their name to become just as prominent, or even more so, and thus those without fame become famous.
Very few take the time to ponder that neither names nor fame were something they possessed initially; it's all because of others that they have them. As a result, they spend most of their lives striving for them, only to realize in their twilight years that fame has vanished as quickly as their energy, realizing their life's struggle was ultimately in vain.
Most people only grasp this truth in their old age, but Duan Shuai has yet to do so, as he is not old.
Moreover, when the Duan family was once proudly prominent, Duan Family Manor was much more illustrious than it is now.
