Whether or not you’ve felt it, whether or not you’ve realized it — the “Age of Chaos” that belongs to our generation has already begun to stir.
The comments section will matter more than the article itself. Master Chi sincerely hopes you’ll join in — after reading, take a moment to share your own thoughts.
Because the best way to elevate your own level isn’t just absorbing and reading — it’s also sharing and putting your own ideas out there.
These past couple of days I’ve been caught up with volunteer work, which means I’ve neglected checking in with all of you in our community. For that, I owe you an apology.
I’ve been turning things over in my mind, and beyond urging you to stock up on daily necessities and food supplies — wherever you are — I honestly can’t think of much else worth saying. Everything feels dull and unremarkable right now, and the near-term future looks bleak.
“In a factory that makes screws, you will never find blueprints for an engine.” That is my personal assessment of the education most people receive.
Master Chi doesn’t know if you’ve realized this, but the vast majority of people — yourself included — have gone from childhood to adulthood without anyone ever teaching you a single word about wealth, assets, or moving up in life.
Because these topics are simply too taboo. Especially the truly core insights — laid out plainly, they are eye-opening “anti-common-sense” truths.
Today, Master Chi wants to share with you a life formula.
This formula was shared with me by a highly influential elder when Master Chi was young. Because it has benefited me immeasurably, I have carried this gratitude with me all my life.
So I hope that whenever you feel lost and confused, you will recite this logic to yourself. Over time, you will come to understand the peace and power it holds. Because this logic has helped countless people rise from the very bottom to become elite members of the middle class worth tens of millions. It has helped countless failures climb out of the mud of tragedy and poverty, and ultimately achieve positions of great prestige.
I honestly don’t know whether you have the discernment to fully grasp what this article is saying.
Although this piece is written with reason and clear thinking, it may very well cause discomfort for some readers precisely because it is too rational and measured.
There’s no avoiding it — nearly 99.99% of articles written today about global geopolitics are far too emotionally charged and sensationalized.
So I genuinely don’t know how much of this will actually land once that heavy seasoning of “hot-blooded emotion” is stripped away.
Just a few days ago, I needed to keep some important documents close at hand, so I made a special trip back to an old apartment I own in central Shanghai to retrieve them. But once I had what I came for and walked downstairs, I found myself in an awkward situation — a long white warning tape had been stretched across the entrance. I asked around and got my answer: quarantine lockdown, 48 hours, no one in or out.

Student Question: Hello, Master. BTC has dropped nearly half from its peak — are you still bullish on it? Given that there aren’t many better investment options right now, would you consider it one of the alternatives? What do the wealthy people in your circle think of it?
Not optimistic. Cashing out is too difficult — at least in the mainland environment, that’s the reality.
A reader with a greedy request: Hello, Master. I’ve seen so many people leaving you messages lately, and I’d like to be a little greedy myself and ask you to talk about marriage.
I believe many readers, like me, feel confused and lost when it comes to this major life matter — not knowing who is worth treasuring, and who we should stay away from.
So if you’re willing to say a few words on this, I’m sure it could save countless people’s happiness and families. Thank you!
After extensive contact with both the wealthy and the general public, I came to realize why ordinary people can work themselves to the bone their entire lives and still amount to nothing: they simply don’t understand where wealth comes from or how it actually operates.
This is why they stumble through life making one bad move after another — and in their relentless anxiety, they get harvested by one predatory scheme after another until there’s nothing left.
Every Teacher’s Day, I receive greetings and words of thanks from many of you — mostly expressing gratitude for my ongoing sharing and guidance.
Honestly, I don’t feel I deserve this gratitude.
By any measure, I fall far short of the title “teacher.” A true teacher imparts unquestionable wisdom and truth to their students. What I share with you is mostly a personal perspective drawn from my own life experience — inevitably a mix of the insightful and the flawed.
