"Once a promise is made, there will be no obstacles in the way of a thousand mountains; once a promise is made, there will be no obstacles in the future." For a promise, you can cross the boundaries between life and death, humans and ghosts; you can break through the barriers of time and space. Stay true to your word and be sincere and firm! From a modern perspective, Zhang and Meng's actions may make us feel too strong. Although they don't have to be so decisive in reality, this attitude of "doing what they say" is still worthy of admiration and learning today.
