That cloud looks so lonely(白雲孤飛)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous minister named (Di Renjie).
There is a story about him in history
books.
He lives with his parents in Henan
Province, China.
He was appointed by the government to take
office in Shanxi Province.
Between these two places is a tall mountain
range, which is famous (Taihang Mountain).
When they reached the top of Taihang
Mountain,
He looked back at Henan Province under the
mountain, and he felt sad.
He thought of his parents' old age, and he
was not sure if there would be a chance to meet again, after all, the world was
unpredictable.
He said to his fellow servants. Look at the
cloud in the distance. My parents live in the township under the cloud in the
distance.
He stayed for more than ten minutes, and he
watched the cloud gradually drift away before he went down the mountain and set
off for Shanxi Province.
When he was working in Shanxi Province, he
had a very good colleague named (Zheng Chongzhi).
The governor wants to send (Zheng Chongzhi)
to work in a remote county.
(Zheng Chongzhi)'s mother is very old and
sick again. So he was very worried.
He heard the news.
He remembered that he had experienced this
kind of pain, so he took the initiative to find the governor.
He said to the governor.
If possible, please let me go to this
remote county instead of (Zheng Chongzhi).
His mother is very old and sick. His mother
needs his care.
The governor was very moved when he heard
it, and agreed to his request.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
misses his parents very much after he leaves his hometown.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Are your parents still alive. How long have
you not seen your parents? If your parents are still alive and you haven't seen
them for a long time, should you visit them as soon as possible?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
白雲孤飛(That cloud looks so lonely)
中國的唐王朝時代，有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(狄仁傑)。
歷史書中記載了一個他的故事。
他與父母住在中國的河南省。
他被政府指派，要到山西省去就任。
這兩個地方中間隔著一座高大的山脈，這座山是著名的(太行山)。
他們走到太行山頂時，
他回頭看著在山下的河南省，他感覺傷感。
他想到自己父母年紀老邁，他不確定還有沒有機會再見面，畢竟世事難料。
他對著同行的僕役說。你們看遠方的那一片雲，我的父母住的地方就在那片遠方的雲下面的那個鄉鎮。
他停留了十幾分鐘，他看著那一片雲漸漸地飄遠，他才下山往山西省啟程。
他在山西省任職的時候，有一個很好的同事，名字叫做(鄭崇質)。
省長要派遣(鄭崇質)到一個偏遠的縣去工作。
(鄭崇質)的母親年紀已經很老而且又在病中。所以他很憂慮。
他聽到這個消息。
他想起自已也經歷過這種痛苦，所以他主動去找省長。
他對省長說。
如果可以，請讓我代替(鄭崇質)去這個偏遠的縣。
他的母親年紀很老又正在生病中。他的母親需要他的照顧。
省長聽了也很感動，便答應他的請求。
這句成語被用來形容一個人離開家鄉後，他很思念他的父母親。
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。
你的父母親都還健在嗎。你有多久沒有看到自己的父母親了呢?若你的父母親還健在而你又很久沒有見到他們的話，你是否應該趁早去看看他們呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
