Dear Mark,

Knowing that you are keen on Chinese, I'd like to introduce a Chinese proverb toyou—A-thousand-mile journey begins with a single step.

This proverb, put forward by the famous Chinese philosopher Laozi, illustrates the idea that every great endeavor starts with the first step. It implies whatever tough tasks or ambitious goals we have, we can achieve them through steady progress by taking persistent action and focusing on each small and manageable objective. In practice, the proverb serves as a timeless reminder that we should overcome obstacles and stay committed to our aspirations. Hopefully, this proverb will be of some use to you.

Yours.

Possible version

The following day, Ally asked again for the curtains to be opened. She sat up in bed, her eyes fixed on the ivy vine outside the window. The remaining leaf, braving the elements, stillclung to the vine. “It's still there,” she whispered, with a hint of surprise and hope in her voice. Her father stood beside her, a smile written on his face. Stroking her head, he comforted, “See, it won't fall. And you'll win!" Watching the remaining leaf outside the window, she felt a renewed sense of strength. And her previous depressed look was replaced by more smiles and her health gradually picked up.

A few weeks later，Ally recovered completely and the secret was revealed. “Didn't you wonder why the last leaf never moved an inch?" her father asked with a mysterious smile. Ally froze and suddenly it clicked—someone had painted it. "It is my best masterpiece," said her father proudly. It turned out that he had climbed up the wall and painted a leaf, making it appear as if it were genuine. This fake leaf, along with her father's love, had given Ally the willpower to live. She knew that as long as she held on to hope, she would be able to overcome any challenge that came her way.
