How helpless is the man, instead of bluntly telling an ugly truth that neither his birth nor his death is in his hands, he is presents his helplessness as his lack of decision power. When Madam Perdita Young does it, it's changed in the beauty of words, a work of art!
Thank you Mr. Jawad for the insightful comment. Li was the kind of man helpless in almost everything in his life, like many of the literary figures in Chinese history under the rule of emperors... Most of them were extreme pessimists... Thanks very much for your heart-warming compliment. :)
