Duties, reciprocity and faithfulness, to show us the rules of life, that all people under Heaven can enter into the road of the Doctrine of the Lear. We have all this from generation to generation, never vanishing away; now in this disturbed times we have always to suffer from the barbarous inroads of the barbarians. They fetter our men, revile our women; where is there still something left of the heavenly good nature? The human beings are trodden down. Nothing of a compassionate heart is to be seen. When the eyes see these things, our heart is wounded. Those who have a soul cannot restrain their anger to see how the laws are broken. Every human heart must be wounded.

By this time the Barbarians have entered our country. Calamities are nearing our walls. Who can be silent to stand at the side with folded arms? Is once Ngan Tin (alias Pan Tin) lost, then is the lip lost and the teeth will be cold. Ferious danger is now everywhere, brewing. This cannot be treated in a leisurely way. Why should our ancestors lose their bliss? Thinking over this I say, whether there is Victory or Defeat one must use all strength. We must not be quiet to wait for the dangers coming along. When our people should live on in quietness and our Borders remain strong we must not postpone our plans, and go on without definite resolutions.
