 Rob the owner while his house is on fire(趁火打劫)

 

There was a scholar in the Qing Dynasty of China, his name was (Xu Ke).

 

He wrote a life note of 3 million words. This is a very important reference book for the study of Qing Dynasty literature and history.

 

There is a story in it.

 

I have met some people. These people usually seem to have good morals, but at some special point in time, these people will show their greed.

 

Let me give an example.

When these people saw a fire in their neighbors, they would assist the owner to rescue valuable belongings.

 

They risked their entry into these fired homes, and they assisted the owner to move many large and small valuables out of the house.

 

But they are not really kind people.

 

They will take advantage of the chaos, secretly put some valuables in their pockets and then take them back to their homes.

 

In case their move is discovered by the owner.

They will argue.

 

I am a man of integrity, and you should thank me.

I help you rescue these things and I think these things should not be placed casually.

So I put it in my house first.

 

He finally made his comment.

We should be vigilant because some people will take advantage of others' crises for their own benefit.

 

This idiom means that a person takes advantage of the crisis of others and seeks his own benefit.

 

Dear friend, how do you feel or think after hearing this story.

Have you ever met this type of person? What choice do you make when you face the sudden temptation of money?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

趁火打劫(Rob the owner while his house is on fire)

 

中國清王朝有一個學者,他的名字叫做(徐珂)

 

他寫了一本300萬字的生活筆記。這是一本研究清代文史很重要的參考書。

 

其中有一段故事。

 

我曾經見過一些人。這些人平常看起來道德很好,可是在一些特殊的時間點,這些人會顯現出他們的貪婪。

 

我舉一個例子。

當這些人看見鄰居失火時,他們會協助屋主去搶救貴重的財物。

 

他們冒著危險進入這些失火的家中,他們協助屋主把許多大大小小的貴重的物品搬出房子外。

 

但他們不是一個真的善良的人。

 

他們會趁情況混亂,偷偷把一些貴重的物品放到自已的口袋然後帶回自己的家中。

 

萬一他們這個舉動被屋主發現。

他們會辯解說。

 

我是一個正直的人,你應該感謝我。

我幫你搶救出這些東西而我認為這些東西不應該隨便放置。

所以我先放在我家。

 

他最後發表他的評論。

我們應該警戒因為有些人會利用別人的危機,謀取自已的好處。

 

這句成語的意思是指一個人利用別人的危機,謀取自已的好處。

 

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。

你有遇過這一種類型的人嗎?你在面對突如而來的金錢誘惑時,你會做出何種選擇呢?

我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
