As long as anyone is willing to receive
him, he will stay(望門投止)
The Eastern Han Dynasty had a minister with
a high moral level and great knowledge.
The name of this famous minister is (Zhang
Jian).
There is a story about him in the history
books.
He was falsely accused of rebelling, so the
king ordered that he be arrested. He fled the capital in a hurry.
He was hiding everywhere on the way to
escape.
He has no goals or plans at all. He walks
during the day, and when it gets dark, he checks to see if there is a home near
the place where he is.
When he saw a house, he would knock on the
door of the house.
He said about the house.
I'm Zhang Jian, and I was framed by bad
guys.
The king ordered my arrest, and I am now a
wanted criminal.
It's getting dark now, and I beg you to let
me sleep at your house one night, and I'll leave tomorrow morning.
Some homeowners will simply say no when
they hear it, for fear of getting into trouble.
But more homeowners told him after hearing
it.
Come into my house quickly, you are a
famous minister of justice and bravery, and we are very willing to receive you.
Not only ordinary people, but also many
government officials at that time secretly assisted him in his escape.
He later fled the jurisdiction of the
Eastern Han Dynasty and sought refuge in other kingdoms.
A few years later, when he was 69 years
old, the king granted an amnesty and he returned to his hometown.
In the years since he left the Eastern Han
Dynasty, many of the families who had hosted him at the time were severely
punished.
A few years after he returned to his
homeland, there was a severe famine.
He was very grateful to all those who had
helped him before, so he donated all the property in his family, and hundreds
of people survived because of him.
This idiom is used to describe a situation
in which a person is very much looking forward to someone willing to receive
him when he is fleeing.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you have the habit of donating money? If
given the opportunity, would you be willing to host those fleeing?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.

望門投止(As long as anyone is willing to
receive him, he will stay)
東漢王朝有一個道德水平很高又很有學問的大臣。
這個著名的大臣的名字叫做(張儉)。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
他被誣陷要叛亂，所以國王下令要逮捕他。他倉皇逃離首都。
他在逃亡的路途中到處躲躲藏藏。
他完全沒有目標與計劃，他白天行走，當天黑時，他就看他所處的這個地方附近有沒有住家。
當他看見有房屋時，他就會去敲這戶住家的門。
他對這間房屋的說。
我是張儉，我被壞人陷害。
國王下令逮捕我，我現在是一個通緝犯。
現在已經天黑了，我祈求你讓我在你家睡一個晚上，我明天清晨會離開。
有些屋主聽到後會拒絕，因為他們擔心惹上麻煩。
但是有更多的屋主聽到這句話後對他說。
你快進來我的房屋內，你是一個著名的很正義又很勇敢的大臣，我們很願意接待你。
不只是尋常百姓，連很多當時的政府官員也都暗中協助他逃亡。
他後來逃離東漢王朝所管轄的範圍，到其他王國去避難。
幾年後，他69歲那一年，國王大赦，他才又回到他的故鄉。
他離開東漢王朝的這幾年中，有許多當時接待過他的家庭因此受到嚴厲的懲罰。
他回到自己的故鄉幾年後，發生了一場嚴重的飢荒。
他很感念之前所有幫助過他的人，所以他就把他家中所有的財產都捐出來，因為他而得以活下來的有好幾百人。
這句成語被用來形容一個人在逃難時非常期待有人願意接待他的情況。
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。
你是否有捐款的習慣嗎?如果有機會，你願意接待那些逃難的人們嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
