Rewatching "The Story of Minglan," I suddenly understood what Grandma said to Minglan: "Life should be uneventful; the best life is one where you can see the end from the beginning." Later, Minglan also said, "I love these peaceful, uneventful days; it would be best if nothing happened." I used to think a life where you can see the end from the beginning was so boring! Now I understand how peaceful a life without ups and downs is. ---A little reflection after a financial disaster
