What does it mean to look down at thousands of people with cold eyebrows and bow your head willingly to be a coward?

To be cold-browed to a thousand men, and to be a coward willingly means:

To be cold-browed to a thousand men, to be a coward willingly, means to never give in to the enemy and to treat the people People are willing to serve.

(Quotation from Lu Xun's "Self-mockery")

Original poem

What do you want when you are handed over to Huagai? You have already met before you dare to turn over.

I pass through the bustling city with my broken hat, and my boat is full of wine.

His eyebrows are cold and he points his fingers at thousands of people, bowing his head and willing to be a Ruzi Niu.

Hide in the small building and become one, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn.

Definition

What can I do if I have bad luck? He tried to get away but was hit with a bloody head.

Walking through a busy market with a broken hat covering your face is as dangerous as sailing through the water in a leaky boat carrying wine.

He is angry at those people who have no conscience and are being criticized by thousands of people. He bends down and is willing to be a coward for the common people.

Stick to your ambitions and positions and never change, no matter how the external environment changes.
