There was a scholar named Li Wan. He was brilliant from an early age, loved to read, and had high expectations for the imperial examinations. However, in the time of Li's late life, the imperial examination system had become extremely corrupt, the examination had become the prerogative of the powerful, and the fate of the scholars was ruthlessly bound to this examination.
In order to participate in the imperial examination, Li Wan did not hesitate to leave home for many years and wandered around. He was well-read and talented, but in the face of the oppression and exclusion of the powerful, his talent was never fairly recognized. The disappointments and disappointments again and again made Li Wan's confidence gradually disappear.
Year after year, Li Wan never passed the imperial examination. He became destitute and accomplished nothing. His life became so difficult that he sometimes couldn't even eat. His clothes were shabby, and his face was haggard. Whenever he walked down the street, people would look at him with ridicule and contempt.
In this process, Li Wan profoundly felt the encroachment of the imperial examination system on the scholars and the ideological shackles on the feudal peasants. He saw those scholars who did anything to achieve fame and fortune, racking their brains in order to pass the imperial examination, and even selling their souls. He also saw that his classmates who had become beggars because of their failure in the imperial examination had become miserable and helpless.
Li Wan began to reflect on the injustices and shortcomings of this system. He profoundly realized that the imperial examination system was not only a constraint on scholars, but also a shackle on the thinking of feudal peasants. This system makes people pursue fame and fortune, ignoring the essence and meaning of life.
As time passed, Li Wan's heart gradually became heavy and painful. He began to doubt his own worth and meaning, feeling that he had achieved nothing and was useless. His mind was bound by the shackles of the imperial examination system and could not be freed.
However, even in the midst of a difficult situation, Li Wan still insisted on reading and thinking. He began to look for answers and revelations from the book, trying to untie the shackles of his own heart. He read books about life and philosophy that made him re-examine his values and the meaning of life.
With the deepening of his thinking, Li Wan gradually understood a truth: the imperial examination system was not the culprit of his predicament, but his own ideological shackles were the real constraints. He realized that he should not be bound by fame and fortune, but should pursue the true thoughts and values of his heart.
So, Li Wan began to try to untie the shackles in her heart. He no longer pursues fame and fortune, but focuses on his interests and hobbies. He began to write poetry, paint, and study philosophy and culture, activities that fulfilled and fulfilled him.
Although Li Wan's material life was still poor, his spiritual world became rich and free. He was no longer bound by the shackles of the imperial examination system, but pursued the true thoughts and values of his heart. His life became meaningful and fulfilling.
