Therefore, the heaven will send a great task to this person. First of all, he must work hard, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and do what he does. Therefore, he is willing to do what he can't do. A person's constant mistakes can be corrected; he is trapped in his heart, balanced by his consideration, and made later; he is marked by his color, expressed by his voice, and then metaphorized. If you enter, there will be no Legalists; if you leave, there will be no enemies and foreign invasion, and the country will perish forever. Then we know that we are born in adversity, but we die in happiness.
