These pearls reappear in this sea again (合浦珠還)
During the Han Dynasty in China, there was
a famous minister named (Mengchang).
He is a very upright official. He was once
appointed as the governor of Guangdong Province.
This area is close to the sea, so most
residents rely on fisheries for their livelihoods.
The local area is a famous pearl producing
area, and the quality of the pearls is large and good.
But when he arrived there, he found a
phenomenon. The local residents were very poor, and many people were
malnourished and even starved to death.
He went to visit the people, he wanted to
know what happened.
He discovered that this place was
originally rich in pearls, so everyone was very wealthy.
But the former governor was very greedy and
kept raising taxes, so all the fishermen had to desperately mine pearls.
Because pearls were over-exploited, the
output of pearls continued to decrease a few years ago, and this year it was
even impossible to harvest them at all.
He took two actions.
He first lowered the taxes of the people.
He then communicated with all the people.
We over-exploited pearls a few years ago,
which led to the fact that the pearls are almost extinct now.
We should stop this behavior so that nature
has time to return to its original state.
All the people agreed with his approach and
cooperated.
One year later, traces of pearls began to
appear in this sea area. A few years later, this sea area was restored to be
able to harvest many pearls.
Because of his great contribution to this
place, the local residents love him very much.
When he was later transferred, all the
people took the initiative to line up on both sides of the road to bid him
farewell.
Many people cried and pulled his car, and all
the people hoped that he would not leave.
This idiom is used to describe something
that is lost and regained or a person returns after leaving.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts

合浦珠還(These pearls reappear in this sea
again)
中國的漢王朝時代，有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(孟嘗)。
他是一個很正直的官員，他曾經被派任現在的廣東省擔任省長。
這一個區域靠海，所以居民大都依靠漁業維生。
當地是著名的珍珠產地，珍珠的品質又大又好。
但他到了當地後，發現一個現象，當地的居民都很貧窮，有很多人營養不良甚至餓死。
他便去民間拜訪，他想了解發生了什麼事。
他發現這個地方原本因為盛產珍珠所以大家都很富裕。
但前一個省長非常的貪心所以一直提高稅收，所以所有的漁民們只好拼命開採珍珠。
由於珍珠被過分的開採，所以幾年前開始珍珠的產量就持續減少，到了今年甚至完全採收不到。
他採取了兩個行動。
他首先降低百姓的稅賦。
他接著與所有的百姓溝通。
我們因為前幾年過份開採珍珠所以導致了現在珍珠幾乎已經滅絕。
我們應該停止這樣的行為讓大自然才有時間恢復原狀。
所有的百姓都認同他的作法並配合。
一年之後這片海域又開始出現了珍珠的蹤跡。幾年後這片海域又恢復成可以採收許多珍珠。
由於他對於這塊地方的貢獻很大，所以當地的居民都很愛戴他，
他後來被調離時，所有的百姓都主動列隊排在道路的兩側向他告別。
很多百姓都哭著地拉著他的車，所有的百姓都希望他不要離開。
這句成語被用來形容一個東西失而復得或是一個人離開後又回來。
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。
