Chinese curse " May he live in interesting time"

"May you live in time of change" is another popular version though there is no evidence that such a Chinese curse ever existed.

There is, however, a line with somewhat similar meaning from a 17th century Chinese book:
"Truly, better be a dog in days of peace
Than a human in times of war".

Whatever it is, it's not anything good to wish for.
