Today is the sixth anniversary of Yang Dai's death, remembering Mr. Yang.

Yang Dai is a writer, translator, and "the most virtuous wife and the most talented daughter" in Qian Zhongshu's eyes. She was excellent at prose and screenplay, and she worked tirelessly throughout her life; she was fluent in English, French, and Spanish, and her translation of Don Quixote was recognized as the best version; she donated her life's writing fees and royalties to set up a "good reading" scholarship; and her famous sayings and aphorisms were widely circulated and well known to everyone. A passage I like very much:

"No matter what level of steps you go up in your life, there are people at the bottom of the steps looking up at you, and there are people on the steps who are looking down on you, you look up and feel inferior, you look down and be self-satisfied, only by looking down can you see your true self." Respect comes from self-respect."

Life is the most important thing to please yourself.
