Make do, then people are capable to survive in all kinds of environments. But it also leads to life quality drop-down. This poor state is disgusting, which reminds me of roaches with vigorous vitality and fast-breeding locusts.

My grandma is a typical figure that process such quality. She values precious presents others gave to her too much to use it. Then most of those truly valuable things just wastes of their value, until they run out of their age (I mean it expires.) At the same time, she regards everything has its value, so she serves rubbish like treasure as well. All rubbish is well preserved by my grandma at home in every corner of the home. Then those "treasure" (rubbish) gradually fills around the room, whereas the space for human decreases at the same time. What's more, to save money, my grandma always selected that cheap food (of course with low quality). In addition, my grandma always buys a bunch to get a bargain. However, our family is small and most of the time we can't consume that much. As the result, we always need to eat stale food. Made do, make do——that leads life reverse.

There is an old saying in China——there is no China after Yashan battle. Song dynasty failed the battle with Mongol in Yashan. Hundreds of thousands of social elite including the 9-year-old empire committed suicide. At the special age, if you chose not surrender, that means you chose to die. People those chose to live inherited our civilization discard their hard-bone. That's understandable since people can alive without hard-borne, but not exist materially with hard-borne. After the social elite who inherited the core spirit of Chinese culture passed away, the rest are most "make-do" guys.

其實我認為中國文化在歷史中就是一個不斷降級，不斷湊合的過程。從周武王滅商開始，就是一個禮樂制度的不斷破壞，商紂王昏庸，難道不能扶太子上位嗎？弒君后自己當皇帝。想是為了避免這種被諸侯殺掉的悲劇，周公旦想出了可操作性更強的分封禮樂制度。可惜，我們就是在歷史的進程中不斷打破自己的下線，卻難能拉高自己的上限。

漢代庶民能做皇帝，到了明代乞丐也能做皇帝了。清朝更是被外族整整統治了400年，满人以“留髮不留人”的政策，又砍了一批精英。能活下來的話，做奴隸又什麼關係呢？死了不就什麼都沒有了嗎？

If survival is all you ask, what's the difference between human being and animals? If you regard yourself at the same level as animals, how do other people regard you? People comprise with themself and life, their life reverses simultaneously. Just like the old saying—— A boat sailing against the current must forge ahead or it will be driven back.
