Nine Lamps and Goodness

Two wondrous fruits, one for immortality, the other for strength.

Within a thousand years, Chu Ning said, "Thanks to the wondrous fruit, praise the wondrous fruit, brother awesome."
A thousand years later, Chu Ning reflected, "Thank oneself, praise oneself, the struggle is the most beautiful."

Secondly, "longevity is just about living a life, so why not take life seriously from the beginning."
Thirdly, "if you can get along, you can get along. If you can't get along, you can negotiate. If you can't negotiate, you should kill someone in the downwind of the wind, this way, the ashes can be scattered cleaner…"
