Unfortunately one more step forward
Chuang Tzu once told us such a fable in the Book of South China. In ancient times, a man named Ziyu unfortunately suffered from a very serious disease: five big holes were broken in his back. Shoulders thin and abrupt, like two high humps; His head fell below his navel, the back of his head was swollen, and he was out of breath when he walked. People laughed at Ziyu's ugliness, but Ziyu himself did not agree. He always joked to himself, "If my left arm were a chicken, I could tell the dawn with it." If my right arm were a bow, I could shoot birds with it; If my ass were a cart, and my spirit a horse, I would ride around in it, wouldn't that be a happy thing?" Whenever people heard these words of Ziyu, one by one they smiled and no longer paid any attention to him. Time flows like a flow, suddenly one year, the war broke out, all the men in the village except the children, were captured and put into the army, only Ziyu one survived. Later, those who were captured died on the battlefield, and Ziyu became one of the few men in a radius of ten miles.
