Prompt 2026-07-04
Compose a speech in the style of Li Shengwu’s eulogy —

Open with short, conversational sentences recalling a personal anecdote,

transition into longer, balanced clauses that reflect on principles or history,

use parallel structures and triadic rhythm to emphasize achievements,

maintain restrained vocabulary with clarity over flourish,

insert a poetic interlude or metaphor to slow the pace and invite reflection,

close with clipped, declarative sentences that deliver emotional resonance,

a dignified voice that honors legacy while remaining grounded.
