He's small in stature, but he's smart and capable.(短小精悍)
Sima Qian is the most eminent historian in
China. His history book is one of the most classic books in China.
The name of this book is (Historical
Records).
The characters recorded in the books
written by historians before him were nobles.
When he wrote this history, he added
special chapters in which he recorded the biographies of commoners who behaved
morally and justly, with simplicity and humility of character, and who behaved
differently from the general public.
The protagonist of one of the biographies
is called (Guo Xie).
Guo Xie lives in the province of Henan,
China.
He is small in stature, but his character
is shrewd and capable.
He never drinks.
When he was young, his personality was very
impulsive, and he killed those who disagreed with him on several occasions.
He knows many gangsters and values his
friendship with them.
If someone hurts his gangster friends, he
will try his best to avenge his gangster friends.
He has also done a lot of bad things. He
ganged up with his friends to rob, he minted coins privately, and he even dug
graves. The number of illegal activities he committed is also innumerable.
He was almost arrested several times, but
was lucky to escape at those critical moments.
When he reached middle age, he regretted
the absurd things he had done in his youth.
He made up his mind, he changed completely.
His behaviour changed a lot.
He is kind to those who are rude to him,
and he is at peace with everyone.
He often helps others and doesn't boast.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
is shrewd and capable and who is small in stature.
Dear friend, after listening to this story,
what kind of inspiration or thought do you have?
Have you ever regretted the mistakes you
made when you were young? Have you ever decided to change your bad habits?
I hope this story can bring you a new
harvest.
