Life is an existence towards death. It is a completely different state for a person to think about death when he is young, and to think about death when he is old, or even to think about death when he is dying. In the face of life there is death, writer Bi Shumin said, a writer who tries “to help people see [death] as a natural thing.”

It’s not unreasonable to say that life is short. People’s birth means death. The countdown of life has begun quietly, and we are one step closer to death. Therefore, when one is alive, one has done all one wants to do. One’s life will be complete.

Although none of us can predict what will happen in the next second, death and the end are inevitable. So, take advantage of the time to visit; take advantage of our young enthusiasm; and do all the things you want to do in order so as to leave no regrets and pass away peacefully.
