I taught Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty how to be a man, made bets with Li Shimin, drank with Zhao Kuangyin, and even raced horses with Temujin. I watched Emperor Chongzhen hang himself on Meishan, and I also saw the multinational coalition forces blasting through our country with artillery shells. I have seen people change from oil lamps to electric lamps, and I have also seen people change from flying pigeons to deliver letters to telephone communications. I have seen everything in the world come and go again and again, and these are all things I have experienced.
