Zhuo Wangsun (卓王孫)(BC?-BC? years)
His surname is (Zhuo) and the name given to
him by his parents is (Wang Sun). He was born in the province of Sichuan,
China.
|
卓 |
The word means excellence. It is also one
of the Chinese surnames. |
|
王 |
It means king. It is also one of the
Chinese surnames. |
|
孫 |
It means grandson. It is also one of the
Chinese surnames. |
He is one of the most famous rich men in
Chinese history.
History books tell a story about his
family.
His ancestors lived in the capital of the
Zhao Kingdom during the Warring States period of China.
His ancestors had a family skill that was
very valuable at that time.
This skill is iron smelting.
After the Kingdom of Qin eliminated the
Kingdom of Zhao, his ancestors were forced to leave their hometown.
The Qin Kingdom asked his ancestors to move
to Sichuan Province, more than 1,400 kilometres away, along with many people
from the Zhao Kingdom.
A few months later, his ancestors arrived
in Jiameng County, Sichuan Province, along with other people from the Zhao
Kingdom.
This place is an important pass that leads
to the interior of Sichuan Province.
After arriving at this place, most of the
people from the Zhao Kingdom who were forced to move to Sichuan Province chose
to stay in this county.
But his ancestors made a different choice.
His ancestors left the county of their own
free will, and their ancestors continued to march inland into Sichuan Province.
At that time, the interior of Sichuan
Province was very inconvenient for transport and full of unknown risks.
Everyone laughed at his ancestors, but his
ancestors insisted on their own decision.
His ancestors eventually settled in
Linqiong County, Sichuan Province.
A few years later, his ancestor became one
of the most famous entrepreneurs in Linqiong County.
A man asked him about his ancestors.
Why didn't you stay in Jiameng County? Why
did they end up in this County?
His ancestors replied.
Jiameng County is an important
transportation hub, but the land in Jiameng County is barren and various
resources are scarce.
Many of my friends from the Zhao Kingdom
think they can return to the Zhao Kingdom in the near future.
So they have chosen to live in Jiameng
County.
I am different from them.
After being forced to leave my hometown, I
don't miss the past like they do, and I don't want to go back to my hometown
like they always do.
I choose to recognise my real situation, I
assume that I will spend the rest of my life in this place, so after thinking
carefully, I think I should find a place where the land is fertile and rich in
resources to live.
Linqiong County produces iron ore, and my
family's skill is iron smelting, so I can use my expertise.
The land in Linqiong County was fertile,
and the town had frequent trade relations with various tribes in the interior
of Sichuan Province.
So I finally decided to settle there.
After several years, time has proven that
my choice was right.
For my friends who stayed in Jiameng
County, their standard of living has not improved in recent years.
After several years of hard work, I have
become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in this County.
His family later became the richest in County,
and the number of servants in his family peaked at over 1,000.
His wealth can be compared to that of the
king of a kingdom.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
Are you living in the present or are you
still thinking about the past? Do you have the courage to change your life
patterns?
I hope this story can give you a new
harvest.

王的意思。也是中國人的姓氏之一。 |

他是中國歷史上最著名的富豪之一。
歷史書記載了一個關於他的家族的故事。
他的祖先住在中國的戰國時代的趙王國的首都。
他的祖先有一項家傳的技能，這項技藝在當時是一個非常有價值的技術。
這個技能就是冶鐵。
秦王國消滅趙王國之後，他的祖先被迫離開自已的故鄉。
秦王國要求他的祖先與許多趙王國的人民搬遷到1400多公里外的四川省。
幾個月後，他的祖先與其他趙王國的人們到了四川省的葭萌縣。
這個地方是一個重要的關口，過了這座城市就會進入四川省的內陸。
他們到了這個地方之後，大部分迫搬遷到四川省的的趙王國的人民選擇停留在這座城市。
但是他的祖先與大部分人的選擇不同。
他的祖先主動離開了這座城市，他的祖先繼續向四川省的內陸前進。
四川省的內陸當時交通非常的不方便，而且充滿了許多未知的風險。
所有人都嘲笑他的祖先，但是他的祖先仍堅持自已的決定。
他的祖先最後定居在四川省的臨邛縣。
幾年之後，他的祖先成為臨邛縣最著名的企業家之一。
有一個人問他的祖先。
你當初為何不要留在葭萌縣呢?你為何最終會選擇來到這個縣呢?
他的祖先回答。
葭萌縣是一個重要的交通要道，但是葭萌縣的土地貧瘠而且各樣的資源稀缺。
我的許多趙王國的朋友們認為在不久的將來他們就可以回到趙王國。
所以他們選擇住在葭萌縣。
我與他們不同。
我被強迫離開自己的故鄉後，我不像他們懷念過去，我不像他們一直想再次回到自已的故鄉。
我選擇認清我的真實處境，我假設我的餘生都要在這個地方度過所以我認真的思考後，我認為我應該找一個土地肥沃而且資源豐富的地方居住。
臨邛縣出產鐵礦，我的家族技能就是冶鐵，所以我可以發揮我的專長。
臨邛縣的土地肥沃，而且這個縣與四川省內陸的各個部落有著頻繁的貿易往來。
因此我最後選擇定居在這個地方。
經過了這幾年，時間證明我的選擇是對的。
那些留在葭萌縣的我的朋友們，他們的生活水準這幾年來一直沒有改善。
而我經過這幾年的努力耕耘，我現在已經成了這個縣中最成功的企業家之一。
他的家族後來成為這的縣的首富，他家裡的僕人最多的時候超過1000人。
他的財富可以堪比一個王國的國王。
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。
你是否有活在當下，還是你一直懷念過去呢?你有勇氣改變自己的生活模式嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
