So I asked myself, driven by the innate "kindness" in my heart, I gradually changed from impetuous fantasy to calmness, and gradually set the pursuit of a simple life, down-to-earth work, clean heart, and innocent life as my creed, and regarded teaching and educating people effectively as my life goal.
