"When there is no storm, faithful wife" comes from "Water Margin" by Shi Naian (late Yuan and early Ming Dynasty).
Original text:
As the saying goes in Mo language, contentment is always empty in the end.
there's a fine line between ideal and reality, and there's nothing to focus on.
when there is no storm, faithful wife.
the flowers bloom again, but they fall. If you regret it, don't stay in this life.
Translation:
Don't say "As the saying goes, those who are satisfied always have fun". Everything is nothing in the end.
There is only a thin line between ideal and reality. If you want to cross this distance, you can only concentrate on your down-to-earth efforts.
Everyone will encounter storms and heavy rains. Only by persisting in the end can we wait until the dark clouds clear and see the bright moon.
The flowers are in full bloom, but when they are seen again, they have faded and fallen. Don't let this life leave any remaining regrets.
Extended information
Shi Naian once wrote "Water Margin" in Xinghua to escape the war and live in seclusion. According to the folk word of mouth, Zhang Shicheng opposed Yuan, hired Shi Naian as a military adviser, and later Zhang Shicheng reduced Yuan. Shi Naian repeatedly refused to give advice. During his seclusion, he met many farmers and salt people, and many stories in their lives became the material of his creation. After re-creation, Liangshan 18, headed by Song Jiang, portrayed the image of a hero incisively and vividly, and at the same time, it blended various sentiments.
and the above article just reflects the importance of persistence, which makes people understand that in the face of difficulties, those who persist until the end can see the rainbow after the storm, hope and victory. Faithful wife is a positive and optimistic spirit of persistence and never giving up, which means that only those who persist in the end can wait until the day when the clouds are clear and the moon is clear, telling people to persist in the end.
