What is regrets? What is the relations of Bamboo and Human Regrets?
Why do we always love using bamboo to build fences, enclosing a small patch of greenery?
It symbolizes resilience, serenity, and elegance.
Yet, if bamboo could speak, it would surely tell you: “You can never confine me.”
Bamboo was never meant to be bound. Its roots quietly stretch deep within the soil, while its tips always reach toward the sky, challenging every boundary.
Its vitality is so fierce, as if destined from birth to break through human-imposed constraints and grow freely toward liberation.
In youth, bamboo seems ordinary, but with age, we understand it as a kind of Initial motivation — the unfulfilled ideal.
In Ancient Chinese, There is a Philosopher Named Shi Wenxiang. He said What the relation of Bamboo and Human Regrets is.
He said that in his old age, returning home, he wished to plant a few stalks of bamboo but couldn’t find a place for them.
He could only gaze wistfully at his neighbor’s bamboo growing. What he wrote was not about bamboo, but about life.
It is not “could not plant,” but “there is no time left.”
The deepest regret is not what we never had, but wanting it when the chance has already passed.
