Those shadows of fear seem to recreate that decisive moment in the annals of history.
Recalling the couplet left by Zeng Guofan when bidding farewell to Zeng Guozuan: "I am the only one left behind in a thousand years, and I will read again when I return from a hundred battles," it carries a deep meaning.
Some interpreted it as: the old nine that has survived the vicissitudes of countless battles and soldiers piled up like mountains. You are lucky to have survived the blood and fire. Don't dwell on the kingship and emperorship, go home, study at ease, cultivate your body and mind, and spend the rest of your life happily!
However, more people comprehend that Zeng Guo-Tsuen was depressed at the time when he was cut down to civilian status and forced to return home to save his family. When the brothers left, Zeng Kuo-fan gifted them this couplet to inspire them to study hard and improve their self-cultivation after the war and eventually achieve greatness. Does Lao Jiu really want to return to his hometown, study hard and improve his self-cultivation in order to achieve greatness?
The writer does not consider herself talented, but thinks it is correct that Zhu Ting's contribution to the women's volleyball team cannot be overstated, but I am afraid that she alone will not be able to save the day.
Zhu Ting's journey home was not easy, but compared to her, her return was even more arduous. Because there are many unspeakable hardships and many unspeakable joys.
The taste of this is like a fish drinking water, knowing its own warmth and coldness, and it is not something that outsiders can understand and empathize with.
In short, the reality is always more cruel than people imagine. For Zhu Ting, her life is really: "thousands of autumn邈leave me alone, a hundred battles to return to read 'lose' again" ah!
