Unchanged since time immemorial, rising and falling over ten thousand years. Who sinks, and who rises?
Those with little heritage sink; those with much heritage rise.
Those with few heroes sink; those with many heroes rise.
The foolish sink; the wise rise.
Those who cling to the old sink; those who embrace change rise.
Those afraid to fight sink; those willing to fight rise.
Those who surrender sink; those who fight to the death rise.
Only after reading the glorious annals of history and mourning heroes who grew old do we understand: heritage determines history and rules the future.
To rise or fall in this world, heritage holds sway.
Gray-haired, raising a halberd, while beauties wither away.
Even if a long blade drinks blood for ten thousand miles, who can claim they will still be laughing five hundred years from now?
