People’s Court News, May 11, 2015
[Good evening friends] We’ll encounter different kinds of wall. We push the wall 10 times, it doesn’t collapse. We push the wall 100 times, it doesn’t collapse. Even if we push it 1,000 or 10,000 times, it still doesn’t collapse. The wall will not collapse—but in pushing it forcefully, our muscles will be strengthened, and we will become more powerful human beings. That the wall doesn’t collapse shouldn’t be our excuse for being weak. –Cai Kangyong

【晚安朋友】我们会遇见各种墙。我们推墙十下，墙也不会倒；我们推墙百下，墙也不会倒；我们推墙千下万下，墙还是不会倒。墙就是不会倒，但我们会因为用力推墙而肌肉强健、变成有力量的人。墙不倒、不该成为我们自愿当弱者的借口。——蔡康永
