<< review queue entry 69615 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 走为上 doesn't mean that you've "tried everything else and failed". It just means that fleeing is the best thing to do (in a difficult situation). The following source says 走为上 is the same as 走為上計 (which in turn is simply short for 三十六計，走為上策). 走為上 同：走為上計 https://idiom.wlps.kl.edu.tw/35961 ABC Dictionary of Chinese Proverbs 三十六计, 走为上计。 (lit) [Of the] thirty-six stratagems, running [away] is best. (fig) (When a difficult situation has reached the point beyond any solution, then) the best thing to do is to run away. [Originally “thirty-six” simply implied “many”; this expression is now often reinterpreted to mean that running away is the best solution to all problems.] Editor: per discussion |
