What is a Friend?
An old saying says:
Gold tests fire, money tests people;
If someone helps you without you having to speak,
they are a kind friend;
If they help you only after you speak,
they are a good friend;

If they agree to help you after you speak,
but then don't actually help,
they are wine and meat friends;
And there's another kind who not only doesn't help,
but also steps on your foot – that's not a friend.
I don't like scheming and calculation,

I don't like being judged,
I don't like fake friendships.
I like simple people,
simple things, simple minds,
living happily day after day,
I like a few genuine friends,
together, we can talk endlessly,
without scheming, without belittling, without sarcasm,

treating everyone sincerely.
I hate people who
can kill someone with one sentence,
I hate people who
show off, look down on people,
I hate people who always have hidden needles in their words,
even ridicule and sarcasm.
I like true friends,

understanding and tolerating each other's shortcomings.
I may not be smart,
but I'm not stupid either,
I can understand many things,
but I don't want to say it.
Because I think people who are too smart will be tired,
Sometimes being a little foolish is more happy!
I know who is genuinely kind to me,
and who pretends to be kind.
I know who tells me words from the heart,
and who is just flattering me, deceiving me.
I know who is a good person,
and who is just ordinary.
Those who think I'm stupid: sorry,
I've seen it all clearly.
I didn't expose it, I didn't turn against them,
I just didn't want to be awkward.
You know, tearing someone's face isn't that difficult,
You can look down on me,
but you should respect me.
Because I care about every friend,

I cherish every friendship!
I don't expect my friends
to be as enthusiastic as me,
I just hope they're honest.
I don't get into trouble, which doesn't mean I'm afraid of trouble,
That's not a concept,
My friends understand me.
I'm not a good person,

nor am I a saint,
I have ordinary dreams,
and an ordinary life,
I just want to live well
and simply
be good to the friends I care about.
May we be friends forever,
it's a fate from past lives,

I sincerely wish my friends:
happiness and well-being!
—Stay away from people who are not good friends,
eliminate wine and meat friends,

treasure good friends,
be grateful for the most kind-hearted friends!
—Becoming a true friend
is the greatest wealth,
a worthwhile read for friends, letting everyone experience and savor it~
