He was a nobleman of the Qi Kingdom during
the Warring States Period in China.
There is a story about him in the history
books.
In order to strengthen their influence and
political power, the nobles at that time would hold dinner parties in their
homes every day, and they would entertain many guests every day.
As long as you have any kind of special
skill, you can live in the house he provides for free, and you eat and sleep
there every day, but if he needs it, you must provide your own skills.
These noble guests were friends with the
nobles rather than servants, and they were free to leave at will.
According to historical records, more than
3,000 guests of this type eat at his home every day.
He is as close as a friend to these guests,
and he treats each guest equally.
Because of this, he also got a nickname,
which is (Mengchang Jun).
He is a very warm person, and he is very
generous to the people around him.
He doesn't care about a person's
background, as long as a person has a special talent or a high moral level, he
will make friends with that person.
Because he does not despise others and does
not feel that he is better than others. So his friends like him very much.
When he was talking with his friends, he
would arrange for a secretary to record summaries of their conversations.
Sometimes, during the conversation, his
friend mentioned that his family or friend had financial difficulties, and he
took the initiative to help the friend's family or friend after the
conversation was over.
One day, at a dinner party, a guest
suddenly stood up angrily.
This guest thought that because of his low
status, the food he ate was particularly poor, and the guest felt that he was looked
down upon. The guest turned to leave the banquet hall.
He quickly stood up and pulled the guest,
he said to the guest.
We all eat the same thing, and I don't look
down on you.
He showed the guest the plate of food on
his table.
The guest was very ashamed when he saw the
food on his plate.
After a few minutes of silence, the guest
spoke to him.
I blame myself very much, you treat me so
justly, but I doubt you.
The guest drew his long sword and killed
himself.
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
He was so sad that he ordered his servants
to arrange a grand funeral for the guest.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Are you a person who treats friends
generously? Have you ever had the experience of doubting others because of
misunderstandings?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.

他是中國的戰國時代的齊王國的貴族。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
當時的貴族為強化自已的影響力與強化自已的政治力量，他們每天都會在自己家中舉辦餐會，他們每天會招待許多客人。
只要你有任何一種特殊的技藝，你就可以在免費住在他所提供的住宅中，你每天在那邊吃飯睡覺，但如果他有需要的時候，你就要提供自已的這種技藝。
這些貴族的客人與貴族的關係像是朋友而不像是僕人，他們可以隨意地離開。
根據歷史書記載，每天在他家中吃飯的這類型的客人就超過3000人。
他與這些客人們就像朋友一樣親密，他用平等的態度對待每個客人。
他也因此得到一個外號，這個外號就是(孟嘗君)。
他是一個很熱情的人，他對周遭的人們都非常的大方。
他不在乎一個人的身分背景，只要一個人有特殊的才能或是道德水平很高，他就會與這個人交朋友。
因為他不會輕視別人也不會覺得自已比別人更優秀。因此他的朋友們都很喜歡他。
他與他的朋友們在談話的時候，他會安排一個書記把他們兩個人對談的內容摘要記錄下來。
有時候，在談話中他的朋友提到自已的家人或朋友有經濟上的困難，他在對談結束後就主動去協助這個朋友的家人或朋友。
有一天，在一場晚宴中，有一個客人突然很生氣地站了起來。
這個客人以為因為自已的地位比較低下所以吃的食物特別差，這個客人覺得自已被瞧不起。這個客人轉身就要離開宴會廳。
他連忙站起來拉住這個客人，他對這個客人說。
我們大家吃的東西都是一樣的，我並沒有瞧不起你。
他把自已桌子上的那一盤食物拿給這個客人看。
這個客人看到他的盤子中的食物後這個客人非常的羞愧。
靜默了幾分鐘後，這個客人對他說。
我非常的自責，你如此公正的對待我，但我竟然懷疑你。
這個客人抽出身上的長劍然後自刎。
現場所有的人都驚呆了。
他非常的難過，他下令他的僕人為這個客人安排一場隆重的葬禮。
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。
你是一個對待朋友很大方的人?你是否曾經有因為誤會而懷疑其他人的經驗呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
