    The woman is the earth, the true mother of all living beings, possessing boundless virtue, yet not mud trampled underfoot. Their shadows overlapped, slowly revealing the arc of a yin-yang symbol. In the distance, two princesses, accompanied by their maids, approached in a grand procession, finally converging into a vast expanse of yin under the brilliant sun. "Not a female ruler governing the court, but a female ruler ruling the world." "You can cry, you can be weak." "But you cannot lose, you cannot fail to rise again, you cannot fail to wipe away your own tears." "I have not given you any shackles of this world, but you have responsibilities to bear. These responsibilities are to become an excellent crown prince, to be a role model for your subjects." "Yansheng, pick up that knife again." The woman is strong enough to rebuild herself from ten thousand collapses. "Do not resent those who try to pull you out of the house, do not condemn those who pave more paths for your future, do not spit on those who fight for your interests, even if their words may be biased, even if their actions may not be outstanding, even if they have not yet found the right path. The road is on, and it cannot be stopped." "Perhaps you were once shackled without realizing it, perhaps you were unwilling to wake up because of the pleasure of ignorance, perhaps you were forced to stand on the side of your oppressor because you gave too much. Words may have stung your past self, but your future self will have a broader world because of the sacrifices, choices, and struggles of the present." "Only when strength is your own can you have the power to overturn the stones blocking your path; only when wisdom is your own can you solve the problems that trouble you." "Go to school, go to the halls of power, and regard those unpleasant slanders as the barking of dogs and the crowing of roosters. Dare to strive, strive, and choose your own life without hesitation. Never be afraid to turn and embark on a new path alone." "Because your history must be written by yourself."
