The famous wine in the gold cup costs ten thousand yuan per dou; the exquisite dishes in the jade plate cost ten thousand yuan. I felt so depressed that I couldn't eat anymore. I drew my sword and looked around, but I felt really confused. If you want to cross the Yellow River, ice and snow have blocked this great river; if you want to climb Taihang, the mountains have already been closed by the heavy wind and snow. Like Jiang Shang fishing in the stream, waiting for his comeback; Yi Yin riding a boat and dreaming about the sun, was employed by Shang Tang's side.
How difficult! How difficult! There are so many different roads, where is the real road? I believe that one day, I will be able to ride the strong wind and break thousands of miles of waves; hang my sails high and move forward bravely in the sea!
