Liu Shan, the last ruler of Shu, was known for his carefree nature. After his kingdom fell, he was granted the title "Duke of安乐" and moved to Luoyang.
One day, his captor arranged a banquet with Shu music and dance. While his former subjects wept for their lost homeland, Liu Shan smiled and said, "I am so happy here, I do not miss Shu at all."
His words reveal a deeper truth: comfort can weaken our roots, and ease can blur our purpose.
To live without memory of where we came from is to drift like a leaf in the wind.
True freedom is not about forgetting the past, but about carrying its lessons with grace.
Enjoy the present, but never lose sight of your origins.
Only then can joy become wisdom, not escape.
