  The society offers fair rules and people struggle in it according to the rules. People receive pay according to their labor. This is the fair society. Never expect to have equalitarianism.

Most of people today thirst for this kind of life, but not lucky or capable to own it.

  Li Kan was diligent when he was ten years old. During winter, he hacked branches to make himself warm. At night, he couldn’t afford to oil lamp, then he recited things he learnt by day silently.

But Li Kan was too upright and indulged in self-admiration, he couldn’t be a lotus flower which could grow out of mud without pollution.

  Centralization under a bright leader is the most ideal society. Centralization under a stupid leader is the most disastrous society. Everything has its own bright side and dark side, just think which side is bigger to make your decision, because there is no perfect thing in the world without flaw.
