The small boat was light yet gave a feeling of stability, almost as if it pressed down in the air.
Li Changzhou recited: "Life is a sea of bitterness, the physical body is the boat, ideals are the compass needle, and effort is the sail."
He opened his eyes and asked Turquoise Pool, "My dear, how about it?"
Turquoise Pool held back her laughter and gave a thumbs-up: "You've already become a real person in the Republic era, probably would have been one in the Ming Dynasty too, but it's a pity you didn't go to the Qing Dynasty, otherwise you'd definitely have been Qian Long."
Li Changzhou was displeased: "My love, reflect on it, savor it carefully."
"Such a profound truth, comparable to 'blame oneself harshly, hence one thrives better'. This saying was given to me by my grandfather during the year I studied abroad. He said, there is no need to forgive others, but one must be strict with oneself. This is genius, this is the path of a qualified Zhao."
