You can't live a drunken life when you are talking and laughing.
First, the source
comes from Life Jianghu, also known as Ren Woxing, also known as Jianghu Trip. It is a modern seven-character poem written by James J.S.Wong.
Second, the original text
The situation in the world comes from our generation. Once we are in the Jianghu, we will get drunk when we are talking and laughing. Carrying a sword and riding a ghost rain, the bones are like mountains and birds are flying. Dust is like a flood of people, just sighing for a few people in the Jianghu.
Third, translation
All the heroes in the world come from our generation. When they enter the society, they lament that life is short. Now they can only talk about their ideals and ambitions in small talk. When the sword was raised and the horse was riding bravely to kill the enemy, the faint white bones piled up like mountains, and even the birds were frightened and flew. Man is just a drop of water to the world, but as for the sea, how many people can come back only by sighing about the rivers and lakes?

1. Appreciation of works
The first sentence expresses the author's scholar mentality from ambition to heroism.
In the second sentence, the author entered the society, and his mind experienced the baptism of the world, lamenting that life is short.
The third and fourth sentences express the author's reflection on universal values. Now, I can only talk about my ideals and ambitions in a small talk. If I had told you so, I might as well eat, drink and be merry from the beginning, and my life would be wasted, but I don't have to suffer from the disillusionment now.
In the fifth and sixth sentences, perhaps I feel that the feelings in the third and fourth sentences are too negative. In the fifth and sixth sentences, the author uses symbols and metaphors to express the cruelty and hardship of society. Perhaps the complexity of society is too dark and cold for an idealist like the author.
the seventh and eighth sentence expresses the core idea of this book, lamenting that people are just a drop of water to the sea relative to the world, how small it is. At the beginning, Lingyun's ambition was arrogant. Now think about how naive it is. Countless people have entered the society with great ideals, but how many people can finally achieve their ideals and finally get rid of the disturbances in the world? In the end, most of them have not been overwhelmed by the tide of society, and they just smile.
