He is the most outstanding historian in
China. There is a story recorded in a book he wrote.
During the Han Dynasty in China, among the
founding heroes, the most important general was (Han Xin).
(Han Xin) When he was young, his family was
very poor, and he had no special skills of his own, so his life was very hard.
One day he had no food to eat, so he went
to the river to fish by himself, but he was very unlucky and did not catch any
fish all day.
At that time, there was a group of women
doing laundry by the river. One of them saw (Han Xin), and she chatted with (Han
Xin).
From the conversation, the woman knew that
(Han Xin) had not eaten all day, so she divided the food she had brought into
two portions and gave him one portion.
This situation lasted for several days.
(Han Xin) came to this river to fish every day, and the woman also prepared him
a piece of food every day.
On this day, after (Han Xin) had a full
meal, he told this woman.
I am very grateful to you for bringing me
food for a while. If I succeed in the future, I will definitely repay you.
When the woman heard what (Han Xin) said,
she stopped smiling and told him very seriously.
I helped you today, not because I hope you
can repay me.
But there is one important thing, I want to
take this opportunity to tell you.
You are a young and strong man. Why can't
you feed yourself. Why do you look forward to the assistance of others every
day.
This question is very important, you have
to reflect on it.
A few years later, (Han Xin) became a
famous general. He returned to his hometown and found the woman.
(Han Xin) Give her many gifts to thank her.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Would you thank your family or others for
the kindness to you? Can you humbly accept others' accusations?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.

他是中國最傑出的歷史學家。在他寫的書中記載過一個故事。
中國的漢朝時代，開國功臣中，最重要的將軍就是(韓信)。
(韓信)年輕的時候，家裡非常的貧窮，他自已也沒有特殊的技藝，因此日子過得很辛苦。
有一天他又沒有飯吃，便自已去河邊釣魚，但是他運氣很不好，整天都沒有釣到魚。
當時河邊有一群從事洗衣服工作的婦人，其中一個看見(韓信)，她便跟(韓信)聊天。
這婦人從對話中，知道(韓信)已經整天沒有吃飯了，她就把自已帶來的食物，分成兩份然後將其中一份給他吃。
這個情況持續了好幾天，(韓信)每天都來這條河邊釣魚，這個婦人也每天給他準備一份食物。
這一天，(韓信)吃飽飯後，他跟這個婦人說。
我很謝謝你這一陣子都帶飯菜給我，將來我若是成功了，一定會好好報答妳。
這個婦人聽到(韓信)說的話，她停止了笑臉，很嚴肅的跟他說。
我今天幫忙你，並不是希望你能報答我。
但有一件重要的事情，趁這個機會我想告訴你。
你是一個年輕力壯的男子。你為何不能養活自己呢。你為何每天期待別人的接濟呢。
這個問題很重要，你要好好反省。
幾年後，(韓信)成為一個著名的大將軍，他回到故鄉找到了這個婦人。
(韓信)送她很多禮物來答謝她。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你是否會感謝家人或是別人對你的恩惠呢?你是否可以虛心接受別人的指責嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
