1 - I have always loved Greek mythology more than traditional Chinese mythology.
Chinese mythology tends to focus on truth, goodness, and beauty — the luminous side of human nature — leaving you with the sense that the world will ultimately be set right.
Greek mythology, by contrast, is far more candid. It tells you plainly that whether we are speaking of human nature or divine nature, the final color is always grey — a merging of white and black.
Hope endures. Justice endures. But greed, desire, and hatred endure just as surely.
2 - Master Chi understands well that many of you want my take on the current situation over these past couple of days.
Let me put it this way: from a long-term perspective, what goes to an extreme must reverse — this is inevitable, a law unto itself.
Right now, the positive momentum has only just begun, and time is still needed.
Think of a 200,000-ton ocean liner — acceleration doesn’t happen in an instant. It requires an enormous, coordinated effort across every department on board.
3 - Nevertheless, the trend is gradually, unmistakably becoming clearer. The anchored destination is indeed the free flow of wealth and the flourishing of commerce.
My overall stance: cautiously optimistic, continue watching, adjust with measured calm.
And based on every historical cycle I have studied: in the earliest stages of a true recovery, risk always outweighs opportunity.
You must wait for the transition from early-stage to mid-stage before it becomes the optimal moment for everything to bloom at once.
4 - Do not rush. Never place your bets out of impatience.
My personal stance has never changed: use disposable money to get a feel for the market, then through each wave of short-term fluctuation, experience what the market and human sentiment are truly telling you.
One more reminder: every place has its own physics. Some rules may be gospel in the West, but transplanted elsewhere, they may not hold.
Above all, remember this — any knowledge that concerns money and wealth must be tested against reality.
Otherwise, no matter how professional it looks on the surface, it is nothing but strategy on paper that never lands.
5 - One more point — I wonder how many will truly grasp the depth of this.
Even the best news, if it arrives as just one or two headlines, remains nothing more than encouraging news.
For good news to genuinely build momentum, it needs sufficient density and depth — like ocean waves rolling in one after another with tremendous force, each one crashing over the last, until every worry and doubt is shattered and washed away, forming an undeniable high tide.
So the best course remains patient, optimistic waiting. Don’t rush.
6 - One more thing on the matter of preserving wealth: don’t be foolish and fixate on protecting a number — protect value instead.
Years ago, I had a distant relative who, in the 1990s, saved up over 300,000 yuan — an impressively substantial sum at the time.
He took that as his cue to completely lie flat, convinced he could coast through life comfortably; the interest income alone would be enough.
Today, that same fortune might not be enough to buy a decent watch.
Sit with that.
