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.

要是當年我不從巴縣調出來，留在那裏安心當一個小片警，我的今天就不會是這樣。貪圖功名利祿是我這一生最大的錯誤。我死後我的孩子就不要再姓文了，改姓別的，子子孫孫以後再也不要從政，不要當官，遠離功名利祿。平淡、平安才是福。
