Tips

history
From Mao Zedong's 《七绝·为李进同志题所摄庐山仙人洞照》 (1961): 暮色苍茫看劲松,乱云飞渡仍从容。天生一个仙人洞,无限风光在险峰。 Written for a photograph of Mount Lu - the 'sturdy pine' standing calm amid storming clouds became a favorite image of political steadfastness.
usage
Frequently quoted in modern political and business contexts to describe calm leadership in turbulent times. 仍 means 'still / nonetheless' here.
