Drunk Beneath the Mountains

Before undertaking any task, thorough preparation is essential. Clarify the correct direction, anticipate potential problems, and develop a detailed plan and arrangements. The initial preparation process directly determines success or failure. Persistence is key to victory, but it must be based on a correct direction. If the direction is wrong, the more you persist, the worse the outcome. Without a detailed plan, the chances of success are significantly lower, and even if you succeed, you'll have to exert many times more effort than others—the common saying "twice the effort, half the result." This is because it's easy to think about and revise something in your mind, but once you start doing it and discover problems, correcting them requires a huge investment of time, energy, or money. -------------------Excerpt from a new book, for mutual encouragement.

Ancient sages said: If the virtuous do not prosper, their ancestors must have accumulated some calamity; once that calamity is exhausted, they will surely prosper. If the wicked do not suffer retribution, their ancestors must have accumulated some virtue; once that virtue is exhausted, they will surely be rewarded. Ordinary people find this difficult to see. Before the ripening of evil karma, the wicked find pleasure in evil; only when the karma ripens do they fear retribution. Before the ripening of good karma, the virtuous are complacent in their good deeds; only when the karma ripens do the virtuous see their good rewards!

This writing is a bit silly. This Su Mu is truly invincible. Others wanted him dead after their engagement was broken off, but in the end, he turned out to be a great help to his enemy. Does he have some kind of psychological problem?

Read it in its entirety for the Nth time from September 30th to October 7th, 2019; it was incredibly rewarding…

There are too many ads in the book review section. Let's create an ad thread for the doctor: Ad: "Urban Swordsman" (都市悍刀行). Ad thread! 😎

Putting aside Zuo An's superb writing style, beautiful imagery, and the pervasive Hangzhou atmosphere throughout the text, it was actually the characters that captivated me most. As I read, characters like Su Mu, Lu Qinghua, Su Yu, Zhao Luan'er, Song Zhijin, and even Xu Sanjin and Cai'er lingered in my mind. Su Mu is an ordinary person, an ordinary male protagonist, yet extraordinary. He regrets choosing to abandon his studies to earn money, but never repents; this attitude immediately drew me to him. Later, his heroic rescue of a damsel in distress and his wise and serene acceptance of the fleeting beauty, like the peach blossoms still smiling in the spring breeze, made me like him even more. Lu Qinghua, what really impressed me about this character was her steamed buns and cabbage! Hehe, and her figure, cough cough. Most importantly, she's not your average weak woman! However, her struggle with the man by the river was a bit scary; she was so fierce, even tearing flesh off! But Su Yu, on the other hand, had a surprisingly strong older brother vibe. At first, I thought he was some kind of villain, but it turns out he's like a handsome young man in period dramas (I actually burst out laughing at this part XDD). As for Zhao Luan'er and Song Zhijin, hmm, seeing how hard Zhao Luan'er went at it from the start, even going so far as to ruin the chastity of a woman next to a man she didn't like, I knew this woman was definitely not a good person. Xu Sanjin is a character who adds variety to the plot. Since it's a modern person traveling to a fictional world, Zuo An (the author) also utilized this, incorporating ancient and modern terms and stories (like characters from Jin Yong's novels) to add a sense of realism.
