withdraw from public life

without money after one 's death - shēn hòu xiāo tiáo

The waves follow - lán dǎo bō suí

Looking at flowers in the mirror - jìng lǐ guān huā

in succession - zhǒng wǔ xiāng jiē

Discard the treasure and pick up the gravel - qì qióng shí lì

precedents - diǎn mó xùn gào

restore justice - bō yún jiàn rì

die a natural death - shòu mǎn tiān nián

feel helpless - wú rú nài hé

expect everyone to do his duty - pǐ fū yǒu zé
