I didn't know everything was empty until I was sick.

Only when we are sick do we know that everything is empty. Maybe we always pursue debauchery, dogs and horses, and constantly pursue things outside our bodies, which will lead to a serious illness. But once you encounter a serious illness, you will realize that those things are not important. What matters is health, not life.

This experience may be like the first poem in Xiuzi, "Everything is empty after death". Only after a serious illness can the poet Lu You deeply appreciate the value of life and the nothingness of things outside his body. He realized that all the prosperity and glory in life were insignificant in the face of illness.

This experience may also be like the attack in A Dream of Red Mansions. After being kicked by Jia Baoyu, she suddenly realized the nothingness of the heart of glory and boasting. Looking at her body and life, she began to cherish her life more and look down on things outside her body.

Whether it is Lu You or Xi Ren, their experiences tell us that diseases can make us re-examine life and things outside our bodies, make us cherish life more and understand the true meaning of life more deeply. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay more attention to our health, and don't wait until we get sick to regret it.
