The global interpretation for this lot

Good

1. Translation from the ancient Chinese text

Since youth he has been a merchant of many years has earned his fortune under many kings. No one has helped him in his struggle up from a lowly commoner to a noble knight. A man has grown up from his boyhood and now stands firmly on his feet. His mind he keeps constantly alert, his reward is his present rank and honor.
