Waterway

Facing the deep and long river, echoing through history, inspiration burst out in an instant. I slowly wrote this book - "Waterway". I saw the rickety back of a man named Xu Che, who had the people in mind and cared about the masses. He suffered hardships and ran into obstacles time and time again in order to study. He hated the powerful and flattery, and fearlessly fought against the evil forces. In the end, he was caught by the bad guys because of his selfish desires, and finally died tragically. This is the true portrayal of countless people in history, such as Kuang Heng who "cut through walls to steal light" and Li Shen who "unexpectedly worked hard for every meal on the plate"... Kuang Heng and Li Shen eventually became corrupt officials, especially Li Shen who was extravagant and lustful when he was a child. Hou came from a poor family and studied hard. When he grew up, he killed 300 chickens every day but only ate the chicken tongues, becoming a prime minister. He became a veritable corrupt official. In the end, he took bribes, perverted the law, preyed on the people, and abused his power. In the end, all that was left was a catchy poem. It warns us that the original intention is easy to obtain but always difficult to keep. Only by being indifferent to fame and fortune and sticking to the original intention can we make steady and long-term progress. I also feel that returning to the original intention and sticking to the right path is the mission and hope that our generation seeks. After Xu Che died, he was filled with unwillingness and resentment, and begged King Yama to let him be reincarnated as a human being to punish evil and promote good. King Yama smiled and said nothing. Everyone in the world makes mistakes. They always feel that they are victims, but they never look for problems in themselves. Then he was reincarnated and turned into a drop of water. Through the perspective of water, he could see the suffering in the world and see the consequences of evil people. Through continuous practice and unremitting efforts, Xu Che finally possessed all the qualities of water - tolerance, selflessness, integrity, incorruptibility, justice, perseverance...
