 Can you recover all the water that has been spilled on the ground(覆水難收)

 

There was a famous prime minister in China's Zhou Dynasty. His name is (Jiang Ziya).

 

There are many stories about him in history books.

One of the stories is as follows.

 

He is very talented, but his luck is very bad. So his life is very poor.

 

His wife can't stand his poverty. His wife wants to live a better life.

So his wife said to him. I want a divorce.

 

He loves his wife so much that he does not want to divorce, but his wife's attitude is very firm.

He had no choice but to agree.

 

Several years passed after their divorce.

He was promoted by the king of the Zhou Dynasty, and he became the prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty.

 

A few months have passed since he became prime minister.

One day his ex-wife showed up.

 

His ex-wife told him.

When I first asked for a divorce, my heart was as uncomfortable as you, but I had no choice.

 

I know you love me and I still love you, let's get back together.

 

He looked at his ex-wife, and he was silent for about three minutes.

He turned around and entered the house, a few minutes later he took out a basin of water.

 

He splashed the basin of water on the ground and said to his ex-wife.

If you can completely recycle this basin of water, we will be able to reconcile.

 

After saying this, he turned and left.

 

This idiom is used to describe the established facts and it is difficult to change it.

 

 

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

Have you ever lost love or marriage? If you were him, what choice would you make?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

覆水難收(Can you recover all the water that has been spilled on the ground)

 

在中國的周王朝有一個著名的宰相。他的名字是(姜子牙)

 

歷史書上有記載著許多關於他的故事。

其中有一個故事如下。

 

他非常的有才能,但他的運氣很不好。所以他的生活很窮困。

 

他的妻子受不了他的貧窮他的妻子想要過更好的生活。

所以他的妻子就對他說。我要離婚。

 

他很愛他的妻子所以不想離婚,但是他的妻子的態度很堅決。

他無奈之下只好答應。

 

他們離婚後又過了幾年。

他被周王國的國王提拔,他成為了周王朝的宰相。

 

他當上宰相後過了幾個月。

有一天他的前妻出現了。

 

他的前妻對他說。

我當初提出要離婚的時後,我的心裡跟你一樣也很難受,但我是不得已的。

 

我知道你是愛我的而我也依舊愛著你,我們復合吧。

 

他看著自已的前妻,他沉默了大約三分鐘。

他轉身進入屋內,幾分鐘後他拿出一盆水。

 

他把這盆水潑灑在地上並對前妻說。

如果你能夠把這一盆水完全回收,我們才有可能復合。

 

說完這句話,他轉身離開。

 

這句成語被用來形容既定的事實已經很難再加以改變。

 

 

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。

你有過失戀或者失婚的經驗嗎?你如果是他,你會做出何種選擇呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
