Sometimes I think of the words from the Song-dynasty poem: 'I sigh for the years that have passed from sight / My glory remains unachieved / I have grown old / My opportunities passed / Just as the general Li, if I met a great emperor / 10,000 dukes could not compare.'
書生老去，機會方來。使李將軍，遇高皇帝，萬戶侯何足道哉。』
