Then you remember what happened and consider joining the military or Peace Corps, because at least the government will pay for your funeral.

Many used tongue and groove to stay in place, with the last door having a simple hasp for a lock or a door lock. Many were later modified to have modern hinges.
[1] door boards (门板) - In ancient China, stores had wide entrances and they used wooden boards as doors instead of having a door. Every morning, the boards would be removed and placed aside. At the end of the day, they would be placed back onto the frames. - True_Sheol3dCommented

What? From USC? Honestly, you have to do something pretty bad to get expelled as a freshman. Even if you suck academically and fail all your classes, they will give you at least two semesters to get to passing, which means that it won't be until your sophomore year before you will get expelled for academics.

Indeed, much of Chinese mysticism is based upon heaven's will. Even the rise and fall of dynasties was based upon the Mandate of Heaven (天命). Thus fighting against the heavens is often a reference to attempting to defy a string of bad luck or a futile struggle. A person with bad luck or an ill fate can often only persist until heaven changes its mind or they borrow/steal the good fortune of others. (This is part of the good myth of adoption, bringing in good luck when the family luck is bad.) Alternatively, references to heaven might actually be something of a mistranslation or shorthand that is actually referring to the 'gods' in heaven, people so powerful that they are often considered the same as 'heaven', but actually aren't.
Well, as cultivators, we do indeed regard fate highly, so the system's explanation seems somewhat reasonable.detailInfinite Comprehension by Taking In Disciples: Martial Uncle, Please Ascend!Eastern · Ascending Junior Uncle - True_Sheol5dCommented"Disciple Yun Tianqiong, greets the First Elder!"
