Mr. Wen’s Quote (11/11)

Had I not transferred out of the Ba County, but continued to stay there as a little policeman, I would not have been like what I am today. Greed for merit, fame, benefit and fortune is my biggest mistake in life. After I die, my children should not use the Wen surname anymore. Take something else. My children and grandchildren should never pursue a career in the government, never be officials, and keep away from merit, fame, benefit and fortune. Being plain and peaceful is a bless.

要是当年我不从巴县调出来，留在那里安心当一个小片警，我的今天就不会是这样。贪图功名利禄是我这一生最大的错误。我死后我的孩子就不要再姓文了，改姓别的，子子孙孙以后再也不要从政，不要当官，远离功名利禄。平淡、平安才是福。
