Yes, I have learned valuable lessons from classical literature and Chinese texts. For instance, from “Mencius,” I learned the lesson of “The benevolent see others and understand themselves,” which emphasized the importance of understanding oneself through interactions with others.
When I learned this lesson, I was deeply moved. This saying highlights the significance of introspection through our relationships with others. It was a crucial step for me in personal growth.

It provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the linguistic and cultural context. Moreover, the values and philosophies from classical literature are still applicable in contemporary society and offer insights that can be applied to our modern lives.
