I know that life and death are illusory, and the story of Peng's grief in Qi is just fiction.
Future generations look at the present as we look at the past.
I cried! So I listed the deeds of people at that time and recorded their stories. Although times have changed and things are colorful, the feelings that arouse the soul are the same.
