He was a very famous general of the Qi
Kingdom during the Warring States Period in China, and he saved the Qi Kingdom
from perishing.
His story is recorded in the history books.
He had a little bit of the noble blood of
the Qi Kingdom, and he held a small official position in the capital.
In 284 BC, a great general of the Yan
Kingdom led an army to attack the Qi Kingdom. The general's name is (Le Yi).
(Le Yi) captured more than seventy cities
in the Qi Kingdom within half a year, and the capital of the Qi Kingdom was
also breached.
The king of the Qi Kingdom fled to the city
of Juxian.
In the Qi Kingdom, only two cities, Juxian
City and (Jimo) City, have not been captured, and the Qi Kingdom is on the
verge of extinction.
All Qi people wanted to flee to these two
cities, and he and his family were no exception.
On the eve of their escape, he showed his
extraordinary insight.
He said to everyone in his family.
The capital is about to be breached, and
everyone wants to escape from here as quickly as possible. There will be many
carriages on the way.
The axle part of the wheel of a carriage is
an important and very fragile part.
If the axle of the wheel of a carriage
accidentally collides with another carriage, the axle of the wheel of the
carriage can easily break.
If the axle of one wheel breaks, the
carriage can no longer be used.
So we have to strengthen this part of the
protection tonight.
He and his family wrapped the axles of the
wheels of all the carriages in the house with iron sheets overnight.
His prediction was correct.
On the way to escape, many carriages were
abandoned on the roadside because of broken axles.
The owners of these carriages had to leave
on foot, and these people were later captured by the troops of the Yan Kingdom.
A few days later, he successfully led
everyone in his family to Jimo, 166 kilometers away.
A few months later, the troops of the
Kingdom of Yan besieged the cities of (Juxian) and (Jimo). The mayor of the
city of (Jimo) died in a battle.
The citizens of (Jimo) city must elect a
new mayor.
Citizens of (Jimo) city told him.
You showed your wisdom in the process of
escaping, and you led your family to successfully escape to our city.
So we want to ask you to lead us, and we
believe that only you can lead us through this difficult crisis.
He complied with the citizen's request.
He became the mayor of (Jimo), and he also
served as the war commander of (Jimo) city.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
When a crisis occurs, will you calmly think
about the changes that may occur next? If you were him, would you be willing to
accept this important position bravely?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.

他是中國戰國時代齊王國一個非常著名的將軍，他讓齊王國免於滅亡。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他具有一點點的齊王國的貴族血統，他在首都中擔任一個很小的官職。
西元前284年，燕王國的一個偉大的將軍帶領軍隊攻打齊王國。這個將軍的名字叫做(樂毅)。
(樂毅)在半年內攻陷了齊王國的七十幾座城市，齊王國的首都也被攻破。
齊王國的國王逃亡到(莒縣)市。
齊王國只剩(莒縣)市與(即墨)市這兩座城市尚未被攻佔，齊王國瀕臨滅亡。
所有的齊國人都想要逃往這兩座城市，他與他的家族也不例外。
在他們逃亡的前夕，他展現出他過人的洞察力。
他對他的家族中的所有人說。
首都即將被攻破，所有人都想用最快的速度逃離這裡，逃亡的路上一定會同時湧入許多馬車。
馬車的車輪的輪軸部分是一個重要又非常脆弱的一個部件。
一台馬車的車輪的輪軸如果不小心與其他的馬車發生擦撞，這輛馬車的車輪的輪軸就很容易斷裂。
一個輪子的輪軸如果斷裂，這輛馬車就無法再繼續使用。
因此我們今晚要加強這部分的防護。
他與他的家人們連夜把家中的所有馬車的車輪的輪軸用鐵皮包裹起來。
他的預測是正確的。
在逃亡的路上，沿途很多馬車都因為輪軸斷裂而丟棄在路旁。
這些馬車的主人只好步行離開，這些人後來都被燕王國的軍隊所俘虜。
幾天後，他成功帶領著他的家族的所有人抵達166公里外的即墨市。
幾個月後，燕王國的軍隊圍攻(莒縣)市與(即墨)市。(即墨)市的市長在一場戰役中戰死。
(即墨)市的市民必須選出一個新的市長。
(即墨)市的市民對他說。
你在逃難的過程中展現出你的智慧，你帶領你的家人們成功逃亡到我們這座城市。
因此我們想請你領導我們，我們認為只有你才能夠帶領我們度過這個艱難的危機。
他答應了市民的請求。
他成了(即墨)的市長，他同時也兼任(即墨)市的戰爭指揮官。
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。
你在危機發生的時候，你會冷靜思考接下來可能會發生的變化嗎?你如果是他，你願意勇敢接受這個重要的職位嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
