"Even if there are thousands upon thousands of people, I shall go forth!"
This phrase originates from Mencius' remarks, admired by all for its resolute spirit and lofty ambition.
Yet many do not know the premise Mencius set—when you dare to act this way, is there reason behind it?
According to Mencius, if there's no reason, even when facing ordinary folk, one should humbly admit their mistake; if there is reason, even against thousands obstructing, one presses forward with courage—that is true courage!
Few in the world can achieve this true courage as Mencius spoke. Most people do the opposite—overbearing towards the commoners, but stop in the face of difficulties.
Shen Yue spoke little of the Confucian School's ways, yet his actions aligned with the ultimate truths of Confucianism.
Facing two masters stronger than thousands, Wanyan Zongjun and Fang La, he still saved Han Shizhong, retreating slowly, waiting for the opponent's counterattack.
