mantle
Faced with his father's death, Li Ke appeared restrained. He carefully built a dojo for his father, walked around the coffin, and burned the Taoist priest. After everything was over, he shed tears alone under the moon. He was silent. Li Ke's father is also a restrained man. His belief in the Tao was powerful but quiet, and he never tried to be eloquent. This noble restraint is the precious mantle that Li Ke inherited. Li Ke is different. As a college student and a young man, Li Ke lacks the usual impetuousness and pride - he is not like his classmates who "fashionably believe that the name father itself is full of tragedy." He worshiped his Taoist father as he was. But at the same time, Li Ke was young - he wanted to go out.

Too complicated. Rambling
