粉墨登場(He put on makeup and performed on
stage. )
中國的明王朝末年，有一個著名的史學家，他家是政治世家，他很有錢也很有品味。他的名字叫做(張岱)。
他有一個私人的劇團。
他的私人劇團中，有一個很會演戲的演員，他的名字叫做(夏汝開)。
(夏汝開)生病就過世一年後，(張岱)到他的墓前哀悼他。
(張岱)站在墓前說。
你那麼年輕就過世了。我覺得命運很不公平。
你生前很重視每一次的登台演出。你的臉部表情非常的豐富，你的語調很有感染力，你演的戲都很有趣，你很擅長演出喜劇。
你的影迷非常的多，你的演出會逗得所有的觀眾都開心地大笑。
每個看過你演出的人都讚美你的演技。
你死的時候，大家都非常難過。很多人都哭了。
與你相比較，
有些人活著但人們詛咒他快點死。
有些人死了之後人們會熱烈慶祝他的死亡。
有些人雖然還沒死，但是人們感覺這個人已經死了。
有些人雖然已經死了，但是人們感覺這個人還活著。
你活著的時候大家都喜歡你，你死了之後大家都覺得惋惜。
我這一年來也常常想到你。
我想如果你在陰間的話，你應該也會覺得開心。
我想如果你如果可以說話，你會說你沒有虛度一生。
這句成語被用來形容一個人登臺演戲。也被用來引申為一個人到在某一場合擔任某一角色。
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。
你認為死亡真的是一個人的結束嗎?你認為一個人生命的價值是如何認定的呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
