Excerpted from Zhao Puchu's "Comfort Story", the original text is as follows:
At sunrise, the East China Sea sets in the West Mountain, and there is also a day of sadness and joy.
People are comfortable when they are not entangled in things.
I like to adopt old money every month, more or less.
Less meat and more vegetables, sweet in the rough, sweet in the fine.
Don't pick out old and new clothes. Good clothes also keep out the cold, and lai also keeps out the cold.
Chatting with intimate friends often, both ancient and modern.
My inner grandchildren are watching, too. Children are happy and women are happy.
Families comfort each other, the poor and the rich.
Exercise hard in the morning and evening, be busy and optimistic, be idle and optimistic.
Broad-minded, healthy, not immortal, but better than immortal.
