Li Peifeng, though sometimes not fully understanding his father, doesn't let that affect his admiration for him.
This man gained his respect from an early age with just four words: Unity of Knowledge and Action.
In Li Peifeng's eyes, Old Li is the kind of person with a penetrating mind, understanding the rules and secrets of societal operations, comprehending human nature, and seeing through the world around him. He's extremely talented and capable, yet disdainful of going with the flow of mediocrity.
At the same time, Li Qiyuan is an enlightened but unworldly sage who's experienced yet remains pure and genuine.
Despite having many opportunities to rise to higher positions, such as becoming a full professor early on or entering politics with an offer, he simply refuses to compromise with the world and things he disapproves of, contentedly and leisurely living his own humble life.
