Chen Linli sat in the reading nook of then Chen house, holding a copy of the "Li Ren Proverbs: Volume One" scroll. She sat down, closing her eyes for a moment, focusing on taking deep breaths. As she practiced her meditation in this quiet moment, she opened her eyes again to read the proverbs from the scroll.

"If you don't do stupid things you won't end up in tragedy."

"Blessings come in disguise."

Linli repeated these proverbs over and over to herself, doing her best to remember. She was very excited to show her mother (Yunya) how she remembered the proverbs Yunya had documented.
