refuse to accept an honourable station and occupy a humble one

"Ci Zun Ju Bei" is a Chinese word, which means to refuse to be respected and to be humble.

CI: to refuse. He is not respected, but humble. [source] Mencius Wan Zhang Xia, written by Mencius Ke of Warring States Period: "those who are poor are superior to those who are inferior, and those who are rich are poor." Therefore, although he can't catch up with big Peter in foreign countries, he can be regarded as a benevolent little Meng. (the 57th chapter of Li Baojia's a brief history of civilization in Qing Dynasty).
