be difficult either to advance or to retreat

noted for nobility of character

dove occupying the magpie's nest

overcrowded with people and traffic

Unable to think of a way

Jia Yu beat the ice

stretch on the Procrustean bed

Give an example

beat time and applaud enthusiastically

give mature consideration to all aspects of a question

Return to justice

Serve the people and the society

take measures in time

glare like a temple door-god

live with one's young wife in a plush apartment

Top three hair

deceive by covering up one's real purpose

dejected and vexatious without peace

Nine tiger tiger

break down from constant overwork
