Facing Setbacks and Loss: Finding Healing in Words of Wisdom

In March this year, my most cherished nephew passed away at a young age. This sudden blow struck me like a thunderclap, causing severe mental distress. For the past six months, I have often been immersed in grief, experiencing a noticeable decline in both physical strength and eyesight. There have been days when my feet felt unsteady while walking, my spirit was hazy, and I even found myself contemplating the idea that my own time was running out.

Preventing negative emotions from harming one's health and quickly escaping from sorrow is crucial. During this period, quotes from famous figures became the medicine that healed my inner wounds.

My nephew had spent four years of his spare time obtaining three diplomas from vocational colleges and universities, and by his thirties, he had already achieved the rank of senior police officer, truly living a life without regret. In my extreme grief, I revisited the words of literary master Ji Xianlin: "Everyone strives for a 'perfect' life. However, from ancient times to the present, at home and abroad, there is no such thing as a hundred percent perfect life. Therefore, I say that imperfection is life." I also recalled the words of essayist, poet, and my teacher, Shao Yanxiang: "A person should treat the disappointments in life with a calm mind, just as athletes get used to reasonable and unreasonable collisions on the field." The insights from these two renowned figures enlightened me, allowing me to re-understand the true essence of life and significantly alleviating the sorrow in my heart.
