Life is thinner than paper. What does unyielding mean?

The whole sentence is: live like an ant, aspire to be a swan, live as thin as paper and persevere.

Life is as weak as an ant, but you must have the ambition of an eagle to fight the sky. Bad luck treats us like a piece of paper, but we must have the heart not to give in to fate.

Ambition is a metaphor for lofty aspirations. Sima Qian's Historical Records of Chen She Family in the Western Han Dynasty: "Hehe! Swallows know the ambition of swans! " Translation: alas! How do sparrows know the ambition of swans?

Allusion: At the end of Qin Dynasty, Chen She, one of the leaders of the peasant uprising, was very poor when he was a child, and was often employed to plow the fields. One day, when he was resting in farming, the more he thought about social injustice, the more angry he became. He said to a person, "If I become rich one day, I will never forget you." When his companions heard his words, they all laughed at his whimsy and dreaming in broad daylight. He couldn't help sighing and said, "Alas, how can a sparrow understand the great ambition of a swan!" " "
