According to his own, Qing Fan Yin's "Yue Yan Attached to Poverty": "If you want to escape from hard work, you are ashamed to learn flattery and be willing to live under others." I only like enjoying things, not doing things. I don't know how to flatter others shamelessly, but I am willing to be inferior and don't want to change the status quo.
