Who said that "people meet in a narrow road, and coming and going is only temporary"?

Meng Xuenong said it. Meng Lao mentioned this sentence when chatting with Zhao Mu, editor-in-chief of Sohu blog.

The original sentence quoted Gu Jieyuan's poem Untitled in Ming Dynasty:

Turn around when you meet a narrow road, and the wild crossing is wide and flat. Things at the bottom crowd out fellow travelers and communicate with temporary people.

The specific events are as follows:

In March 2009, Zhao Mu, editor-in-chief of Sohu Blog and outdoor sports enthusiast, met Meng Xuenong in a hiking activity to climb the Wild Great Wall. Zhao Mu tentatively asked him, "What are you doing now?" Unexpectedly, Meng Xuenong said humorously: "Now, with the global financial tsunami, I have joined the ranks of the unemployed and stayed at home."

During the conversation, Meng Xuenong also inadvertently revealed his "self-defense" of the past. For example, when talking about the concealment of SARS, he said that there were omissions in information collection, monitoring reports and follow-up investigations in Beijing, both subjective and objective. ...

For example, there are many hospitals in Beijing, but not all of them are under the jurisdiction of the Beijing Municipal Government. Under the system at that time, Beijing could only truthfully report the figures within its jurisdiction. I wonder why those reporters said that Meng Xuenong "lost his position as mayor of Beijing because he concealed the SARS epidemic"?

However, when Zhao Mu asked, "Do you want to defend yourself?" Meng Xuenong's answer is: "When we meet in a narrow road, we should turn back. It is not easy for them to write something. Now everyone is talking about harmony. Long live understanding. "
