Features: With a sudden push, hands flow like water; always across a thousand mountains and rivers, always eyes that cannot return. In the distance, you are gazed upon as a thousand-winged bird, flying away from the sky, no longer on the wings. In listening, you are heard as a thousand-hole flute, the sound channel deep as the gaze into the past. With a sudden push, you are locked in an invisible realm from which there is no escape. Remember what a famous person once said: "I always stand towards the sun because I don’t want people to see the shadows behind me." Every success story is accompanied by suffering that only the person themselves know. What we see are their brilliant smiles, but who knows how much the ordinary cannot bear behind those smiles? Everyone dreams of success from a young age, but what is success? Is it flowers and applause, the envious gazes of others, or the ever-increasing wealth in the account? Yes, of course, these are all success. But this expression seems to lead us down the path of materialism, and pursuing materialism is not a virtuous way for humans to live. What we need is a mindset, a spirit.
