    Can someone remind of the saying that is semi-often used in Chinese novels? It goes something along the lines of you being able to come back and rebuild as long as there is a forest on the mountain or something. It is usually said when talking about a leading figure that is in trouble and could have his/her faction/group/organization wiped out soon, so he would be advised to escape and come back one day and rebuilt everything
