Mr. Red Coat nodded at the examiner as if to say that the student should pass the examination. Realizing that this was heavenly intervention, the examiner passed the student. Chin-chia, Mr. Gold Armour, searches the world for talented students who will be asked to study hard and eventually be rewarded with high offices in education and government. When he finds a child blessed with talent, he waves his flag in front of the child's home, marking the student for future honors. However, Mr. Gold Armour also carries a sword.
Woe be unto the gifted child who betrays that inborn talent through lack of effort.
And thus it is that, Kuan-ti, the god of war stands waiting at the end of the line. Upon your shoulders sits the fate of our world. Fill that world with your gentle knowledge, unflagging integrity, and quiet strength. Let's keep the god of war waiting a little while longer at the glorious throne of heaven.
