Guanshan Lives up To

He once thought that the small courtyard on the green hills, the sound of books and the chirping of zithers, were the whole scene of his life. Until the old friend is far away, conspiracies are brewing, the old covenant is like a lock, and fate comes with a bloody storm, uprooting the young man from the stable years. Thousands of miles away from mountains and rivers, lakes and temples. Some people use the name of loyalty to set up traps, and some people use the name of their close friends to plan killings. The so-called "Guanshan" refers to the danger of mountains and rivers, the separation between people's hearts, the cause and effect and destiny that are difficult to overcome in this life. He trekked all the way, thinking that he would be able to protect the people he wanted to protect if he went far enough, but in the end he discovered that some people were destined to be separated on the other side of Guanshan, and some betrayals could never be repaid. The young man's spirit has been tempered by the world's affairs into a calm demeanor, and his sincere heart has been tempered into cold iron by repeated betrayals. To live up to it is to burn this whole body, but also to hold on to the immortal light in your heart. Even if the road ahead is windy and snowy, even if the place you return to is empty. This is one's practice and one's journey. There are tens of thousands of mountains and mountains, but this heart will not let you down.
