He is well aware of this.
From a letter he wrote to his son.

Once, Rong Hong wanted to complain to Zeng Guofan, but Zeng Guofan said, "I have lived for more than 50 years and experienced a lot. I know that what is happening in the world is half of it. " Difficulties can be regarded as encouragement or persecution. "
