Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.
Note: It means that every common person has an unshirkable responsibility for the rise and fall of major events in the world. This is the point of view put forward by Gu Yanwu in the book, and the eight-character written language pattern comes from Liang Qichao
Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness.
Note: It comes from Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty. The original sentence is: "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." It means to put the interests of the country and the nation first and serve the motherland. We worry about our future and destiny, and sweat and bleed for the happiness of the people in the world.
We live and die to benefit the country. How can we avoid it because of blessings and misfortunes?
Note: This is our country. The two sentences in the poem of Lin Zexu, the first national hero in modern times, mean: As long as it is beneficial to the country, he will be willing to sacrifice his own life and will never avoid it because he may be harmed. The generous tragedy left by Lin Zexu embodies China. The great righteousness of the nation has inspired countless people with lofty ideals and benevolence. However, speaking from the bottom of my heart, whenever I think of Lin Zexu's situation at that time, I can't help but sigh.
