About Cao Zhi
Born into a royal family, I have no right to talk about ideals. This is what Yang Xiu said to me. Irony? His family has been officials for four generations, has he given up his idealistic tendencies? Some things are destined from birth, and cannot be changed. Of course, I want to be the crown prince, and I have done things to praise my father's virtues. But I don't think brothers should be so cruel to each other. But this may just be wishful thinking. Why does it have to be so complicated? I don't know, but I am deeply entangled in it and cannot escape. When I was young, I wrote 'White Horse Poem', which was just a romantic fantasy of a young man. But now, I really envy the unknown soldiers who died on the battlefield. When charging on horseback, they wouldn't think so much, would they? Now, apart from waiting for death here, what else can I do? Come, let's drink!
