Born in sorrow and died in happiness comes from Mencius, a famous Confucian classic in China, with the title added by later generations. This paper demonstrates the viewpoint of "born in sorrow and died in happiness" by combining examples with reasoning.
I. Original text
Shun was born in mu, Fu Shuo was born in the middle of the building, and the glue was in fish and salt. Guan Yi I was a scholar, Sun Shuai was in the sea, and a hundred miles was in the city.
Therefore, when the sky falls, people must first suffer their minds, their bones and muscles, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and mess around. Therefore, patience has benefited them a lot.
People are unchangeable, then they can change, get stuck in their hearts, weigh the considerations, and then make them; Color label, sound hair, and then metaphor. A country, if there are no ministers and wise men who can assist the king, will often be in danger of the collapse of its neighboring countries and the misfortunes from abroad.
In this way, you will know that sorrow is enough to make people live and pleasure is enough to make people die.

Three. Annotation of works
(1) is selected from Mencius Xia (Notes on Thirteen Classics, Zhonghua Book Company, 1980 edition). The title was added by the editor. Mencius (372 BC-289 BC), whose real name is Ke, is Zi (to be tested, Zi or Zi Ju). During the Warring States Period, Zou Guoren was a descendant of Lu Guoqing's father. China was a famous thinker, politician and educator in ancient times, and a representative of Confucianism in the Warring States Period. He is the author of Mencius. Mencius inherited and carried forward Confucius' thoughts and became a generation of Confucian masters second only to Confucius. He is called "Asian sage" (because Confucius is called "sage" and Mencius is second only to Confucius, so he is called "Asian sage") and is called "Confucius and Mencius" together with Confucius.
