His tenacious resistance(負隅頑抗)

 His tenacious resistance(負隅頑抗)

 

There is an important scholar in Confucianism whose name is (Meng Ke).

He told a story.

 

Jin Kingdom has a famous warrior. His name is Feng Fu.

His fighting skills are very good. Tiger is the most ferocious animal and he can hunt tigers.

 

One day, he announced to everyone.

I think hunting is too cruel, so I will never hunt again from today. .

 

Many famous people admire his determination.

 

A few months later, one day he was outing in the wild.

He saw many people in the distance rounding up a tiger.

 

He saw the tiger being forced to a corner of the mountain.

Many people surrounded the tiger with weapons.

 

The tiger roared with scars on its body.

The tiger exhausted his last bit of strength to resist, and everyone dared not approach.

 

At this time, someone yelled when he saw him.

The man in the distance is Feng Fu. We hurried to ask him to help.

 

All the people called out loudly.

Feng Fu. You are the bravest person, come and help us quickly. We really need your help.

 

When he heard these words, he forgot the promise he had said. He rolled up his sleeves and went to help hunt the tiger.

 

All people are grateful for his help.

 

Those who originally admired him have since changed their attitudes to despise him.

 

This idiom is very interesting because it is from the tiger's point of view. The meaning of this idiom is to use the last strength to resist and change this unfavorable situation when you are forced to a desperate situation.

 

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

If you were him, would you break your promise to stop hunting? How would you evaluate his action?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

負隅頑抗(His tenacious resistance)

 

儒家有一個重要的學者,他的名字叫做(孟軻)。

他說過一個故事。

 

晉王國有一個著名的勇士。他的名字叫做馮婦。

他的打鬥技巧很好。老虎是最凶猛的動物而他可以獵殺老虎。

 

有一天,他對眾人宣布。

我覺得打獵太殘忍了所以我從今天起再也不打獵了。。

 

很多有名望的人都很敬佩他的決心。

 

過了幾個月,有一天他正在野外郊遊。

他看見遠處有許多民眾正在圍捕一隻老虎。

 

他看見這隻老虎被逼到山邊的一個角落。

很多人拿著武器包圍住這隻老虎。

 

這隻老虎身上帶著傷痕大聲咆哮。

這隻老虎用盡最後一分力氣想要抵抗,所有人都不敢接近。

 

這時候有一個人看見了他就大聲喊叫。

遠處那個人是馮婦。我們趕緊去請他來幫忙。

 

所有的人便大聲叫喚。

馮婦啊。你是最勇敢的人,你快點過來幫我們啊。我們很需要你的協助啊。

 

他聽到這些話,就忘記了自己說過的承諾,他挽起袖子過去幫忙獵殺了這隻老虎。

 

所有的人們都很感謝他的幫忙。

 

那些原本敬佩他的人從此就轉變態度變成輕視他。

 

這句成語很有趣因為是站在老虎的觀點。這句成語的意思是指被逼到絕境時,用最後的力量抵抗想改變這種不利的狀況。

 

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。

你如果是他,你會違背自己不再打獵的諾言嗎?你如何評價他的這件行動呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
