If life deceives you,
Don't be depressed and don't be angry!
Restrain yourself for a while when you are unhappy,
Believe it, a happy day will come.
Our hearts look forward to the future,
Today is always sad:
Everything is temporary, fleeting,
The dead will become lovely.
(translated by Cha Liang Zheng)

This is a lyric poem of the richest man with philosophy. Poets use simple poems to describe real life feelings. Poetry begins with a hypothesis that it will hurt people, which makes the fragile people lose confidence in life and makes those who are not strong enough face "disaster". It expresses the poet's attitude towards life that he will not be depressed, will not escape, will not be depressed and will not be indignant because of being cheated by life. The poet's method is restraint and strong efforts, advocating: "Believe in it, and a happy day will come."
In his poems, the poet puts forward a positive outlook on life facing the future. Encourage people to look forward to the future, taste life and feel proud, full and rich life, because "what is lost will become lovely."
Similarly, the author encourages himself with this outlook on life. The poet lived in an era when the spirit of the French Revolution had a wide influence on the European continent. At that time, Russia, on the one hand, was under the tyranny of the czar, on the other hand, the people's sense of freedom was greatly awakened, and uprisings and rebellions broke out one after another. Born into a noble family, the poet has a strong sense of freedom and democracy. These doomed his life to be full of reefs, eddies, rapids and bumps. In the face of suffering, the poet strengthened his confidence in life and relied on this confidence to overcome one violent oppression after another.
The whole poem is full of philosophical connotation and optimistic and cheerful style. The poet's assumptions about life aroused many people's voices and expressed many people's feelings about life. It is this outlook on life, this confidence in life, this firmness and courage in the face of ups and downs that makes this poem spread for a long time and has positive life enlightenment for readers, especially young readers.
