What is the meaning of backwater, please?

Backwater is a metaphor that originated in the ancient Chinese history of warfare. The tactic refers to when an army in a critical battle had to decide to use water as a line of defense and fight by a river or lake behind them. This tactic represents a gambling mentality, possibly because all ways out are cut off and only victory can bring survival and freedom.

In modern society, the term backwater is used to describe the decisive action people take when faced with a difficult situation or crisis. People usually respond to certain challenges or problems in this way only when they have no other choice.

Sometimes in life, we may encounter some difficulties or make important decisions, which require us to adopt a back-to-the-wall attitude, be firm and confident, and do our best to win. Whether it's the pressure of work or the challenges of relationships, as long as we stay calm, deal with our emotions, and have the right mindset, we can get out of trouble and win.

In short, the spirit of the battle of the backwaters is that no matter what predicament we face, we have to be brave and determined to not give up at the last moment, and fight for our own beliefs, believing that there will always be a way to the other side of the victory.
