30年前，一个年轻人离开故乡，开始创造自己的前途。少小离家，云山苍苍，心里难免有几分惶恐。他动身后的第一站，是去拜访本族的族长，请求指点。
30 years ago, a young man left his hometown to start his own business. He left home young, and the future is perplexed, he felt a kind of frightened. So his asked the patriarch for some advice.
老族长正在临贴练字，他听说本族有位后辈开始踏上人生的旅途，就随手写了三个字：“不要怕”，然后抬起头来，望着前来求教的年轻人说：“孩子，人生的秘诀只有六个字，今天先告诉你三个，供你半生受用。”
The old patriarch was practicing calligraphy, when he heard that a junior was going to step on the journey of life, he wrote three characters on the paper, “Don’t be afraid.” Then he raised his head, looking at the young man who asked for advice, saying that, ” Kid, the key to the life is six characters, today I tell you three of them, it’s enough for your half life.”
30年后，这个从前的年轻人已到中年，他有一些成就，也添了很多伤心事。归程漫漫，近乡情怯，他又去拜访那位族长。
30 years later, the young man became an adult, he has gained some achievements and sorrows. It’s a long journey to go back home, when he arrived, he went to visit the patriarch again.
他到了族长家里，才知道老人家几年前已经去世。家人取出一个密封的封套对他说：“这是老先生生前留给你的，他说有一天你会再来。”还乡的游子这才想起，30年前他在这里听到人生的一半秘诀。拆开封套，里面赫然又是三个大字：不要悔。”
When he got there, he was told that the patriarch has been dead for several years. They took out a letter and told him,” He left you the letter, and he said you would visit again someday.” At this moment, he remembered that he got half of the key to life 30 years ago. He opened the letter, there are three big characters on the paper too, “Don’t be regretful.”
