The life is a process of growing constantly, during this period of life journey, we may go through hardships, endure the tortures of pain and pleasure, get accustomed to the fact that joy and sorrow always surround us. We have to say goodbye to things we are reluctant to lose as the cost of growth. We gradually learn to let go of it in tears.
人的一生是不断成长的过程，在这过程中，风霜雨雪不断磨砺，痛苦快乐轮番交替，悲欢离合缠绕不息。作为成长的代价，我们总会不得不与一些自己不愿失去的东西告别。在泪与痛中，我们渐渐学会了舍弃，学会了放下。
Letting it go is a kind of relief, a sudden enlightment, a choice made due to our mature mentality, the wisdom of life.
放下是一种解脱、一种顿悟；放下是心态的选择，是生活的智慧。
Because they learned to let things go, they were renowned for the optimism and took things philosophically which Su Dongpo expressed in the poem “Oh, I would fain. Spend a straw-cloaked life in mist and rain”；The best realm of life which Zeng Guofan supported “Perfection means aimless “; The unrestrained joy Li Bai showed “Look up with smile and walk out the door how can I be the average person with no ambition”.
因为懂得放下，才有了苏东坡“谁怕？一蓑烟雨任平生”的乐观与豁达；因为懂得放下，才有了曾国藩“花未全开月未圆”的最是人生好境界；因为懂得放下，才有李白“仰天大笑出门去，我辈岂是蓬蒿人”的肆意快活。
Friedrich WilhelmNietzsche used to say: “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.” Frankly speaking, the world you feel depends on the energy where you put. It makes us exhausted when we fall across people and things that bear malevolence and tangle with them. Only if we learn to let it go and make the past things back to start, can we grasp the happiness on present.
尼采曾说：“与恶龙缠斗过久，自身亦成为龙。凝视深渊过久，深渊将回以凝视。”其实，你将心力消耗在什么地方，便会感受到怎样的世界。当我们遇到那些满怀恶意的人与事时，越是纠缠，越容易让自己身心俱疲。唯有学会放下，及时将过往清零，才能抓住当下的幸福。
Sometimes it is more powerful to let go of something than to maintain it or seize it. — Eckhart Tolle, The New World
有的时候，放下一些事情比维护它或抓住它更有力量。——艾克哈特·托尔《新世界》
In Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff takes revenge for the misfortunes he suffered when he was a child, and finally loses his beloved. After being trapped by resentment for half his life, he realized that all he wanted was a warm affection. If we dwell on the pain of the past, we will unconsciously go against the original purpose. We should realize that learning to let go of those unworthy people and things is the cure for all.
《呼啸山庄》中希斯克利夫因幼时的不幸遭遇，疯狂报复，最后失去了自己心爱的人。在被怨恨困住半生以后，他才明白自己想要的不过是一份温暖的情意。一味与过往伤痛纠缠，我们难免会不自觉中与初心背道而驰。只有学会放下那些不值得的人与事，才是治愈一切的良药。
As an old Chinese saying goes: “One cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs.” On the journey of growth, we are supposed to learn to reconcile with ourselves, for the difficulty and what are hard to release at the moment is temporary.
中国有句古话：“有得必有失”。在成长路上，我们要学会与自己和解，眼前的困难与无法释怀不是永远。
