In the Han Dynasty of China, the seventh
king was (Liu Che).
He is one of the most famous and respected
kings in Chinese history.
His time as king was one of the strongest
periods in Chinese history.
There is a story about him recorded in
history books.
Once, he got a very mysterious bottle of
rice wine.
According to legend, people who drink this
bottle of rice wine can live forever.
He is very happy, because if he lives
forever, he can always enjoy the present glory and wealth.
At that time there was a minister whose
name was (Dongfang Shuo).
(Dongfang Shuo) Hearing the news, he came
to him and told him.
I can tell whether this bottle of rice wine
has magical powers.
Before you drink it, you'd better let me
appraise it.
He gave the bottle of rice wine to
(Dongfang Shuo).
When (Dongfang Shuo) got the bottle of rice
wine, he took it in front of his eyes and looked carefully.
Suddenly, he pulled up the cork, then he
raised his head and drank all the bottle of rice wine.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
He was very angry, and he ordered to kill
(Dongfang Shuo) immediately.
When (Dongfang Shuo) heard his order,
(Dongfang Shuo) laughed instead of fear.
He found it strange and asked.
Why are you laughing.
(Dongfang Shuo) answered.
Please think about it,
If this bottle of rice wine really has magical
power, the person who drinks this bottle of rice wine will be able to live
forever.
If this is right, you can't kill me in any
way today.
If this bottle of rice wine has no magical
power, then I will be killed by you.
But for you, you haven't lost the chance to
live forever.
He was silent when he heard the answer.
After he thought about it carefully, he
understood that (Dongfang Shuo) used this method to tell himself that there is
no way to immortality in this world.
What he should do is not to pursue
immortality, but to live every day well.
He forgave (Dongfang Shuo).
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
How do you face death? If you are going to
die tomorrow, how will you live today?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.

劉徹(西元前156年-西元前87年)
他的姓是劉，他的父母給他取的名字是徹。他出生地位於在中國的陝西省。
|
劉 |
本來的意思是斧頭一類的兵器。也是中國人的姓氏之一。 |
|
徹 |
徹底的意思。 |
中國的漢王朝，第七任國王是(劉徹)。
他是中國歷史上最著名、最被眾人推崇的國王之一。
他當國王的期間，是中國歷史上最強盛的幾個時期之一。
後代尊稱他為(漢武帝)。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
有一次，他得到了一瓶很神祕的米酒。
傳說中喝了這一瓶米酒的人就可以永遠活著。
他非常高興，因為如果他永遠活著，那就可以永遠享受現在的榮華富貴。
當時有一個大臣，這個大臣的名字叫做(東方朔)。
(東方朔)聽到這個消息就來見他並對他說。
我可以分辨這一瓶米酒是否具有魔力。
你在喝下去之前，最好先讓我鑑定一下。
他就把這瓶米酒交給(東方朔)。
當(東方朔)拿到這瓶米酒之後，他拿到眼睛前面仔細地看。
突然，他拔起瓶塞，然後他仰起頭來把這一瓶米酒全部喝下去。
現場所有人都驚呆了。
他很生氣，他下令立刻殺了(東方朔)。
(東方朔)聽到他的這個命令時，(東方朔)沒有恐懼反而是大笑。
他覺得很奇怪就問。
你為什麼大笑。
(東方朔)回答。
請您想一想，
如果這一瓶米酒真的有魔法力量，喝了這瓶米酒的人就能夠永遠活著。
如果這是對的，你今天用什麼方式都無法將我殺死。
如這一瓶米酒沒有魔法力量，那我雖然被你殺死。
可是對你而言，你並沒有失去永遠活著的機會啊。
他聽見這回答後他沉默了。
他仔細的思考後，他理解原來(東方朔)是用這個方法來告訴自已這世界上並沒有讓人永遠不死的方法。
他應該做的不是追尋永遠不死，而是應該好好的過好每一天。
他饒恕了(東方朔)。
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。
你如何面對死亡這件事呢?你如果明天就要死了，你會怎樣過好今天呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
