Watching the badger boast on the microblog that "African flat-headed brothers are brave and fearless, so that they are endangered" (in fact, badgers are a large number of endangered species, and they also fear death), always reminds me of Ye Yin, which is regarded as the "classic of Japanese Bushido":

"The so-called Bushido is to see through death. When we are in a dilemma between life and death, we should make a decisive decision as soon as possible. First, we should choose to die. Death is the end. That’s the most important thing in Bushido. Every day and night, I Miss death again and again, and I will stay in death, so that Bushido and I can be one body. If one day, I finally enter the realm of freedom and freedom of death, then my life will not fail…"

Many years ago, when I first saw these forcible words, I thought that the author must be a warrior in the Warring States Period who was loyal to his master and died in battle. Later, I found out that Yamamoto, the author of Ye Yin, was born in Edo era in Taiping. He was a small civil servant who worked as a clerk all his life. He never went to the battlefield. After the death of the master he served, he did not die by cutting his belly. Instead, he ran out into the mountains and lived in seclusion until he was 61 years old.
