1. "I don't expect anything in return"
I give it to you,
I don't expect anything in return.
If I give,
just to ask for it one day,
then how insignificant I will become.
If you were a lake,
I would be happy to be surrounded by embankments;
If you were a mountain,
I would be happy to be a decoration The green grass of your appearance.
People may not be able to make themselves great,
but they can definitely make themselves sublime.
