Secondly, poverty motivates people. If there were no poverty, many literary treasures would be lost in the world, and many famous books would not appear. Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions would not be so vivid if it hadn't come from a poor family. It is still being told, and there may even be no such book at all. If it is not because of poverty, why are there still many revolutionaries fighting for an ideal new society under the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang? Why can the broadest masses of the people unite around the * * * production party in China to fight the reactionaries? Poverty gives people the motivation to change their destiny.
Finally, poverty makes people determined to motivate themselves. If it weren't for poverty, who would rise up for the revolution? Who can guarantee the success of the 25,000-mile long March? Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions was born with a golden spoon. He has never lived in poverty. Once his family came down, he had to become a monk, which was very sad.
Therefore, poverty is actually a great wealth of life.
