1. I admire women who love to read. Books are not cosmetics, but they keep a woman's heart and face youthful. Books are not weapons, but they make a woman strong and resilient. Books are not feathers, but they allow a woman to soar. Books are not omnipotent, but they make a woman multifaceted. A woman who doesn't read, no matter how intelligent, only possesses talent for one lifetime, while books hold the essence of a hundred generations.
2. I admire women who are deeply grateful yet travel alone. They know to thank their parents, but don't blindly follow. They know to thank heaven and earth, but are not afraid. They know to thank themselves, but aren't narcissistic. They know to thank their friends, but aren't dependent. They know to thank every seed and every breeze, and also know to rise early to sow. —From "The Women I Admire"3. Some things aren't better the stronger they are; they need to be just right. We speak profound words softly, and we walk long roads slowly.
4. As long as you don't fall, others may knock you to the ground, but they cannot stop you from getting up, covered in dust and wounds.
—"Just the Right Amount of Happiness"
5- No matter how the world treats you, please continue to strive, be brave, and be full of hope.

—"Blue Heaven"
7- Your outward disdain is because of your deep-seated fear.
8. You must converse with the sun, moon, and stars, talk with rivers, lakes, and seas, shake hands with every tree, and whisper sweet nothings to every blade of grass before you will realize the vastness of the universe, the insignificance of life, the preciousness of time, and the nearness of death.
— *Between the Snowfield and the Starry Sky*
9. If you are angry, shout; if you are sad, cry; if you love, express; if you like, pursue. Don't belittle yourself, don't wallow in self-pity, go out and be brave enough to be yourself.
— *The Power of the Mind*
10. While the sun shines brightly, while the breeze is gentle, while the flowers haven't yet faded, while you are still young, you can still walk a very long road and express very deep longings. Go and find those paths, mountains, and fields that have appeared in your dreams.
—"Life Must Have a Soul-Touching Journey"
11- "Waiting for others to love you is not as good as striving to love yourself."
—"May You Embrace This World Warmly"
12- You cannot demand a life without storms, because pain and hardship are part of life. An ocean without storms is not a sea, but a quagmire.
—"The Code of the Soul"
13-
Travel is a form of learning; it allows you to see the world with the eyes of a child, to see different societies, to become more tolerant, to understand different values, and to better understand how to love and cherish. Travel allows you to start a new life with a different identity, to make new attempts, and to rediscover yourself.
—"Blue Heaven"
14- We may not be beautiful, but we are healthy. We may not be great, but we are dignified. We may not be perfect, but we strive. We may not be eternal, but we are sincere.
—"Three Small Rooms of the Spirit"
15- Everyone is multifaceted; even a noble person has a lurking humility in their soul.
—"Reflections on Thought and Soul"
16- Happiness blindness is like color blindness, reducing the vibrant world to a blurry black-and-white photograph. Wipe open your eyes of happiness, and you will see the happiness that has been hidden, concealed, obscured, and confused, rising from the deep sea like a mermaid, nourishing us.
—"Happiness Blindness"
17- Melancholy is like an onion close at hand, emitting a unique and pungent aroma. When you peel back its tightly packed, sticky scales, tears will stream down your face.
—"Prescriptions for the Soul"
18- Everything natural is slow. The sun rises and sets little by little. Flowers bloom and fall petal by petal, rice ripens—all very slowly. Those rapid natural changes are mostly disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and torrential rains. A child grows up very slowly. A person sleeps very slowly; it takes from sunset to sunrise for a person to rest.
—"Souls Under the Stars"
19- Sleep with your secrets, wake with your freedom. Its fence is sturdy yet sparse, allowing a gentle breeze to pass through.
—From *Prescriptions for the Soul*
20- Cry when in pain, laugh when happy; any genuine emotion towards the world that flows from the heart is an inscription on the cliff face of life, enduring the test of time and worthy of our enduring love.
—From *May You Embrace This World Warmly*
21- It is said that the ancient Native Americans had a custom: when their bodies moved too fast, they would stop, set up camp, and patiently wait for their souls to catch up. Some say they stopped every three days, some say every seven days; in short, one cannot keep walking indefinitely, but must pause in the gaps of the journey to reunite with the soul. The soul seems to be a burdened or clumsy weakling, often lagging behind. If you walk too fast, it cannot keep up. I think the most meaningful part of this saying is that it proves that during travel, our bodies and souls are out of sync, separated and fragmented. A truly exceptional journey naturally requires a profound harmony between body and soul, a bond that transcends life and death.
—From *Traveling with Your Soul*
22- A beautiful woman withstands the test of time. Time is not the enemy of beauty, but merely its agent. It allows beauty to manifest in different states at different times, progressing from simplicity to profundity.
A lady must be a woman of letters. —From *May You Embrace This World Warmly*
23- Life must include a journey that touches the soul.
24- Cultivating the inner self is far more difficult than adorning the exterior, like the difference between crystal and glass.
—From *Bare Faces*
25- True perseverance means that no one gives you any promises; only time flows by, and only faith remains. A hopeless wait amidst desolation, sustained only by the unwavering heart.
—From *Soul Under the Stars*
26- A shout is necessary; even if no one hears it in this lifetime, the echo will resonate for a long time.
—From "May You Embrace This World Warmly"
27- I dislike any talk of conquering mountains, believing it to be a sign of human weakness and shortsightedness. A true mountain cannot be conquered; it merely, at a certain moment, generously accepts the climber, allowing them a brief respite atop its summit, bestowing upon them the grace of a glimpse of its true form. Like a bird singing in a treetop, does it dare claim to have conquered the tree? The existence of mountains reminds us to maintain humility and reverence, knowing that in this world, there are things we must look up to.
28. Life has no inherent meaning, but you must establish one for it.
29. People are always trapped in their own cocoons throughout their lives; this is their own choice. When life is about to end, people may suddenly realize: the world was originally a giant cocoon, and we have never truly lived.
— *The Power of the Mind*
30. If you want to grasp the length of a light-year, look at the Milky Way; if you want to grasp the length of ocean changes, look at fossils; if you want to grasp the length of a year, look at wheat fields; if you want to grasp the length of a month, look at infants; if you want to grasp the length of a day, look at the ebb and flow of the tides; if you want to grasp the length of an hour, look at a heart resuscitation; if you want to grasp the length of a minute, look at office workers clocking in; if you want to grasp the length of a second, look at the Shenzhou spacecraft launching into space; if you want to grasp the length of a millisecond, look at the Olympic 100-meter race; if you want to grasp the length of your life, cherish the countless moments before you.
— *May You Embrace This World Warmly*
31. I will deeply reflect on my shortcomings in the dark of night when no one is around. But I don't want to exhibit myself like a defective product in front of everyone.
— *Reflections on Life*
32- Go to farther, more dangerous, more remote places to "transcend the mundane," but one day you'll tire of this escape. In fact, the mundane has its own charm.
— *Blue Heaven*
33- How to get through life's low points? Wait quietly; sleep well; exercise, a good physique is always useful; talk with close friends, mostly reminiscing about happy times, without complaining; read more books, especially biographies, to increase knowledge and see how others overcame adversity; take the opportunity to do housework, finishing chores you usually can't manage.
34- You are not an angel, you don't have wings, so don't be too good to anyone.
35- May you embrace the world with warmth.
36- Some things in this world are not done because we like them, but because, from a long-term perspective, from a sense of responsibility, and from a developmental perspective, they must be done.
—"The Seven Colors of Happiness"
37- No decision is without pain. Do you think not making a decision means no pain? Wrong. That would be even more painful. Or you wait for someone else to make the decision for you, which is not only painful but also a loss of freedom. For freedom, you must make a decision. There is no absolute security in life. Only absolute insecurity.
—"The Female Psychologist"
38- Life doesn't have a kind old man or middle-aged man to give us the first piece of candy. Nor does it promise that in the distant or near future, there will definitely be a second piece of candy, dressed in colorful clothes. Life is full of unknowns, but it is not all sweet.
—"Souls Under the Stars"
39- A person can be educated, but still be uncultured. Just like a person can eat constantly, but if their stomach doesn't absorb it, it's all for nothing, and they are still skin and bones.
—"Evidence of Culture"
40- In that moment, I felt so lonely, with the trepidation of venturing into a tiger's den alone.
—"Between the Snowfield and the Starry Sky"
41- Life exists for oneself. It is a simple and natural thing, not a charade in front of a crowd.
— *Meditations on Life*
42/ Success is not as difficult as we imagine. It becomes difficult because we dare not do it.
43- To those who agree with me, I appreciate their goodwill.
To those who oppose me, I examine their wisdom.
If I see flattery in those who agree with me and ignorance in those who oppose me, then I disdain listening to either of their opinions.
— *Meditations on Life*
44- As long as we are constantly striving, fighting for the light, we are living an incredibly important life.
— *I Am Important*
45- Poverty is not just about not having money, but also about how much time has been lost. — *Prescriptions for the Soul*
46- Love makes people one-sided, love makes people gullible. Love lowers one's IQ, love makes one wishful thinking.
— *May You Embrace This World Warmly*
47- Marriage is a pair of shoes.
First came the feet, then the shoes.
Life
is an endless road, so people created shoes.
Shoes are for traveling, but sometimes the hardships and dangers on the road are less painful than a single grain of sand in your shoe.
— *I Am Important*
48- The river of time is irreversible; I will never be young again.
49- I have learned what sublimity is. It is actually an emotion originating from fear, a kind of pride that comes after overcoming fear.
— *Reflections on Life*
49- Traveling to a place that is very different from real life, under the brutal power of nature, you will truly begin to cherish your own life.
— *Blue Heaven*
50- Life is a mixture of mud and sand, flowers and thorns coexisting. Respect life as it is, accept a complete and unified real world.
— *Philosophy, Quotes, Insights*
51- Wisdom is divided into regions. The wisdom of business is golden, the wisdom of politics is blood-red, the wisdom of love is colorless, and the wisdom of hatred is black. No one's wisdom is omnipotent, so people are extremely intelligent in some areas and completely confused in others.
—From *Meditations on Life*
52- The sublime can be ordinary, but it is never humble!
—From *Meditations on Life*
53- Success is not an external evaluation, but an inner feeling.
—From *Souls Under the Stars*
54- The world is inherently imperfect; we merely go with the flow!
—From *May You Embrace This World Warmly*
55- Being moved is a kind of happiness, stubbornly shining with diamond-like brilliance amidst the dust of rampant materialism.
—From *Just the Right Amount of Happiness*
56- Because of its scarcity, being moved has become a luxury. Many people cannot enjoy being moved, so they turn around and ridicule it, mocking it, setting it against reason, and dragging it into the quagmire of blindness and naivety.
—"Just the Right Amount of Happiness"
57. In youth, lacking strength and patience, we slowly wait for love and to be loved. We anticipate dramatic, earth-shattering encounters, and relish the twists and turns of life-or-death struggles. Once lost, we beat our chests in despair. Only with age do we realize that such experiences are often linked to disaster.
—"The Crown Virus"
58. To live, one must maximize their own happiness and also ensure that others are happier because of your existence.
—"The Psychologist"
59. Everyone is born a tadpole, but grows up to be a frog in a well. This is not your fault, but your limitation, which you must find a way to overcome. To understand the world, you must travel far. Everyone knows that travel costs money. However, the benefits of travel are not immediately apparent; they often accumulate gradually over time. Some people think travel is just about taking photos and buying small souvenirs, but it's much more than that. Travel allows our bodies to experience different winds and waters, and our minds become more agile and colorful under the nourishment of different cultures. A keen eye becomes wiser, and a humble demeanor follows.
—From "May You Embrace This World Warmly"
60- Just right is a crystallization of philosophy and art. It represents magnanimity and serenity, a long corridor before the door of happiness. Gently walk through it, and you can knock on the door of happiness.
—From "Just Right Happiness"
61- Life is always full of disasters. In fact, most people have already learned to be calm in the face of disasters; we just haven't learned to enjoy the moments between disasters. We focus too much on being vigilant against suffering, and we neglect to remind ourselves of happiness. Please pay attention to happiness from now on! Does happiness also need to be reminded?
—From "Reminding Happiness"
62- Some Chinese people, after acquiring foreign citizenship, proclaim themselves as "bananas," meaning that apart from their yellow skin, their hearts have become pure white. I, however, am a "mango."
—From "Mango Woman"
63- Show your true self to others; there is no need to please others, no need to wrong yourself. After doing this, I thought opportunities would be far fewer, because I was determined to burn my bridges and be true to myself in this life, willing to pay the price. Unexpectedly, I gained more friends and more opportunities.
— *The Code of the Soul*
64- As long as you feel you are living for yourself, the world may change in your eyes. Why must an article be published? Speaking to yourself brings peace of mind. Why must calligraphy be exhibited? Writing with focused concentration is a fusion with heaven and earth, past and present. Why must teaching students be done in schools? Why must good deeds be known to others?
— *The Seven Colors of Happiness*
65- Is love a momentary event or a lifetime commitment?
Is love a decisive blow or a lifelong commitment?
Is love a single misstep leading to eternal regret or diligent nurturing accumulated over time?
Is love a variable or a constant? Is love a probability or eternity?
— *Five Hundred Glances in This Life *
66- The past is entangled by the thorns of words, piercing the soul and drawing blood.
—From *The Female Psychologist*,
67- Time changes a person's perspective, just as painted furniture changes color.
But the perspective of some old friends never changes, like the clearest crystal, shining brightly throughout life
. —From *May You Embrace This World Warmly*,
68- Embarrassment is actually a state that we often encounter in life. It has a little rule: the more you fear it, the more it bares its teeth and claws, leaving you at a loss. If you face it calmly, thinking that no one is perfect and everyone has embarrassing moments, it will deflate.
68- The most vulnerable part of a person is actually "unable to let go."
Because of being unable to let go, we "never forget, yet do not seek reciprocation"; because of being unable to let go, we meet in our dreams; and because of being unable to let go, even the slightest news will make our hearts "surge as before"...
It is also because of being unable to let go that the "Museum of Broken Relationships" exists in Zagreb, Croatia.
—"The Most Vulnerable Place in People is
Their Reluctance to Let Go" 69- To cover up a small mistake, I didn't hesitate to roughly pluck the patient's taut nerves; I feel deep remorse. We can frighten others, but we cannot frighten patients. When they are ill, their spirit is like a desolate autumn field; even the slightest chill will cause the leaves to fall. Let us cherish the human heart as we cherish crystal.
—"May You Embrace This World Warmly"
70- The existence of mountains allows us to maintain a humble and respectful attitude, knowing that there are things in this world we must look up to.
71- When we gamble our fate on a single 'only' thing, we are actually in a state of self-isolation and anxious disorder, our hearts flowing with inferiority and weakness.
—"The Seven Colors of Happiness"
72- No one can replace me, just as I cannot replace others.
—"I Am Important"
73- True love is not temptation, but warmth.
*The Seven Colors of Happiness*
74- Happiness is a richness of the heart, not measured by material possessions. It is the feeling of giving, sharing, and love. Just the right amount is a crystallization of philosophy and art. It represents magnanimity and tranquility, the long corridor before the door of happiness. Gently walk through it, and you can knock on the door of happiness.
— *Just the Right Amount of Happiness*
75- I believe that every sincere and honest child has made a grand vow of filial piety to their parents in their heart, believing that there is plenty of time, that things will fall into place naturally, and that they will one day achieve success and return home in glory, able to fulfill their filial duties with ease.
— *Filial Piety is Priceless*
76- There are some hatreds and some favors in the world that cannot be repaid. When faced with such situations, we can only walk away.
— *Reflections on Thought and Soul*
77- I like women whose eyes readily meet others' gazes. She may lower her eyelids and glance out of the corner of her eye, or she may glare fiercely and deeply. Most of the time, she observes everything before her with a peaceful, quiet, even serene gaze, like a starry sky shrouded in mist. When I see a woman whose eyes dart around furtively, like a grasshopper, I always suspect she has suffered too much harm. Perhaps it's not her fault, but she has lost the ability to face others with equanimity.
—From *The Woman I Admire*
78-Standing on the long dike of life, one can never possess both banks simultaneously; to leap to the other side means to abandon this one.
