Akko doesn't know whether he is lucky or unlucky to have the opportunity to read and write.
We are in a special era. The emperor was greedy for the longevity of his imperial power, so he implemented the policy of obscuring the people and strictly prohibited all common people from learning to read and write. However, his elder brother has read a lot of poems and books, but he keeps it secret and even teaches himself carefully when he has free time. There is no need to do more, this is already the biggest disaster.
So that the classics of the sages will not be lost in the hands of one's own generation; also because the cultural heritage will not be cut off due to the temporary likes and dislikes of the superiors; perhaps, it will also increase wisdom, have a mind of the universe, and be able to distinguish right from wrong, so that people will not follow others' opinions and be blinded and driven. Even if the situation is dangerous, for various reasons, someone has to stick to the belief that has long been regarded as useless by most people.
The haze will eventually come to an end. Many years later, Lin Ke was already at the top of the temple. From time to time, some people are surprised that he could achieve such talent under such circumstances. Lin Ke always likes to respond with the words of his elder brother:
"Now that I have the opportunity to read and write, I also know what integrity is. It is not good to let the word "integrity" be used as a decoration. If it is difficult to maintain it, I will do my best to maintain it. If everyone wants to avoid trouble and seek peace, we should stand up and move forward."
If you think about it carefully, you are still lucky in the end. Brother, Ke has lived up to your expectations.
