The phrase “remaining indifferent whether granted favor or subjected to humiliation” describes a person as having the peace of mind to carry on as usual regardless of finding oneself in a favorable or unfavorable situation. Ancient Chinese philosophers advocated an attitude of treating the ups and downs of life as a common phenomenon like blossoming always being followed by withering. They encouraged people to lead a tranquil life without worldly desires for wealth and fame by remaining indifferent at times of gains and losses. In their view, people should have a clear purpose and work hard toward it, while at the same time, maintain a state of mind and a way of life marked by peace and equanimity. Deng Xiaoping, the 2nd chairman of China had wholly 3 big ups and downs in his life. At the lowest point of his life, he still kept a peaceful and reasonable mind, and think in a long-lasting way. That’s why he became the leading designer of Chinese opening-up and reformation.
