During the Spring and Autumn Period in China, the king of the Chen Kingdom received a letter.

 

This letter was written to him by his good friend. His good friend was a famous minister of the Wei Kingdom, his name was (Shi Que).

 

Written in this letter.

The king of Wei Kingdom was murdered by his younger brother, and all the ministers and all the people in our kingdom were outraged.

 

They are about to visit you and ask for your support, please do not help them.

When they visit, we will arrest their comrades in the Wei Kingdom.

 

The other one, we want to ask you to help arrest the entire mission, and we want them to be tried by the law.

 

The king of the Chen Kingdom agreed to his request.

 

After a few weeks, all the rebels led by (Zhou Xu) were executed.

 

(Shi Que)'s son was also involved in the rebellion and was the main mastermind.

His son was also sentenced to death.

 

This act of (Shi Que) is especially recorded and praised in the history books.

大義滅親(He believes that justice is more important than his own relatives.)

 

中國的春秋時代,陳王國的國王收到了一封信。

 

這封信是他的好朋友寫給他的。他的好朋友是衛王國一個著名的大臣,他的名字叫做(石碏)

 

這封信中寫。

衛王國的國王被他的弟弟謀殺了,我們王國中的所有大臣與所有 的百姓都很憤慨。

 

他們即將去拜訪你並尋求你的支持,請你不要幫助他們。

他們出訪的,我們會把衛王國內他們的同黨都抓起來。

 

另位我們想請你幫忙把整個出使團都抓起來,我們要讓他們接受法律的審判。

 

陳王國的國王答應了他的要求。

 

幾個禮拜後,以(州吁)為首的所有叛亂份子都被處死。

 

(石碏)的兒子也參與了這場叛亂,而且是主要的策劃者。

他的兒子也被判處死刑。

 

歷史書上特別記載並且讚美(石碏)的這個行為。

他認為正義比自已的兒子更重要。

 

這句成語的意思是指一個人認為正義比自己的親人更重要。

 

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(石碏),你會怎樣做呢?你認為你最重要的價值觀為何呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
