"Taking chestnuts from fire" originated in France in the17th century. Feng Deng's fable "Monkey and Cat" said that the monkey tricked the cat into taking chestnuts out of the fire, but did not eat them, and burned the hair on its feet.

One day, I asked him, "Do you miss Shu?" He replied, "I'm happy here, and I don't think about Shu." Now it's a metaphor for forgetting to return to my happiness or forget my original happiness, so the idiom should be changed to "I never tire of it."
