Why I Write about Politics

Lao Tzu advises Confucius not to be overwhelmed by human affairs in this film.

“Chaos is everywhere.”

Lao Tzu: “Men habitually long for fame and authority.”
Kong Qui: “Then what should I, your pupil, do?
I cannot hang useless on the door-beam like a dried-out gourd.”

“THE MASTERS WORDS ARE PROFOUND, BUT I MUST BE LOYAL TO MY CHOSEN PATH.
THE MASTER’S WAY IS BEYOND.
MY DAO KEEPS ME IN THE WORLD OF MEN.”
