Qiankun - Uncle quotes
Uncle's Quotation 1 (from Chapter 89)
Daqian shijie, where there are poor people, there are rich people. If there are rich people, they have corresponding identities and statuses, and it is inevitable that there will be a group of people who climb the dragon and the phoenix around them. There is no shortage of these people who are as docile as dogs in front of their owners, but they pretend to be superior to outsiders, and dogs look down on people.
Wandering between groveling and arrogant for a long time, his personality began to deform. For the sake of unwarranted things, even at the expense of people's innate freedom of mind, in the end they end up being reduced to a slave-like existence. Only in this life, I can't feel the precious emotions obtained from real and sincere interactions in the world. Behind the infinite scenery they think they have, perhaps, these people will never experience the pity in the eyes of others in their lives.
Uncle Quotations 2 (from Chapter 150)
Where there are people, there are desires, where there are desires, there are conflicts of interest, and where there are conflicts of interests, there are conspiracy. And the conspiracy does not distinguish between high and low, there is no high or low, and what is staged is also a trick of life and death. The winner is the king, the loser is the coward, in the competition of life and death, there is no sympathy and no mercy, there is only one meaningful ending, live!
Uncle's Quotation 3 (from Chapter 157)
People sometimes do not feel that their achievements are dazzling, but that the visitors infinitely magnify the so-called fame, so they put down their bodies and grovel. If people are not self-disciplined and have been under the stars and the moon for a long time, they will gradually be greedy for vanity, struggle in their hearts all their lives, and become the prisoners of the so-called fame and fortune. As everyone knows, the so-called high praise of the spectators sometimes does not bring the supreme glory, and it may also build a cliff and make it impossible to turn back. And in case of falling into the abyss, the spectator is still the spectator, indifferent.
Uncle Quotation 4 (from Chapter 160)
Most of human nature is selfish, and everything is subconsciously dominated by one's own desires. Desires may be large or small, but they cannot be extinguished. Some of the pride of the sky are shaken by the sky and controlled by the earth, thinking that they can control all things in the world, but in the end they can never defeat themselves, infinitely magnify the desires in their hearts, and chase them unlimitedly, and in the end they can only bring disaster upon themselves.
Uncle Quotation 5 (from Chapter 166)
How many fantasies of girls are trapped in the courtyard of the deep house, and how many pursuits of girls are trapped. One day, when they walked out of the attic and the city, and realized something else that did not belong to them, their hearts would have a longing. Among the countless desires, only love is the most torturous, and only love is the most worrying. Lovesickness is poisonous, and only personal experience can understand its suffering, especially for a young girl who grew up in a lonely city.
Uncle Quotation 6 (from Chapter 169)
There is a kind of pity, which can only be cherished after loss. There is a kind of sadness that the most ordinary things in life have become extravagant hopes. A simple and ordinary life may be normal in the eyes of some people. Because they've always had it, and they've been accustomed to it. I will not use a grateful heart to discover every little happiness and emotion in life. It doesn't matter if you lose it, you don't care about cherishing it. (The plot of sixty chapters revolves around this sentence, and it takes too much time to condense and revise it in just a few dozen words, I hope we learn to cherish it and cherish it if we understand it!)
