Dying with your eyes open(死不瞑目)
At the end of the Han Dynasty in China,
there was a famous general in China, his name was (Sun Jian).
History books tell a story about him.
He led an army to the capital to attack a
warlord who had murdered the king.
In 191 AD, after several consecutive
victories, his army was very close to the capital of the Han Dynasty.
His superior officer listened to the
slander and stopped sending reinforcements.
But after he had a sincere talk with his
superiors, they regained their confidence in him.
He led the army forward again.
A few days later, the warlord who had
killed the king sent a messenger to him.
The messenger told him
The members of the royal family of the Han
Dynasty have lost their original power.
We're rooting for another royal whom we
love to be the new king.
We will ask the new king to elevate you to
a higher position.
We will allow the person you recommend to
enter the central government system.
We want to have a peaceful and cooperative
relationship with you.
He was very angry and said to the envoy
You have killed the king of the Han
Dynasty.
I will not keep peace with you, nor will I
cooperate with you.
I will defeat you and kill you all.
We want people all over the country to know
that evil cannot defeat good.
If I can't do this before I die, I think at
the moment of death I won't be able to close my eyes because of the regret in
my heart.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
dies with great regret. Because that person is very regretful, even though he
is dead, he cannot close his eyes.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
If it were you, would you cooperate with
the warlord who killed the king? If you were to die today, what would you
regret not doing?
I hope this story can give you a new
harvest.
死不瞑目(Dying with your eyes open)
中國的漢王朝末年，中國有一個著名的將軍，他的名字叫做(孫堅)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他帶領著軍隊前往首都攻打一個謀殺了國王的軍閥。
西元191年，他在連續贏得多場勝利後，他領導的軍隊經非常接近漢王朝的首都。
他的上級長官聽了別人的讒言所以停止給他的後援補給。
但在他誠懇的與他的上級長官溝通之後，他的長官重新恢復對他的信任。
他再次領導軍隊前進。
幾天後，那一個謀殺了國王的軍閥派遣了一個使者來見他。
這個使者對他說。
漢王朝的皇室成員已經失去了他們原本的權力。
我們要支持另一個我們喜歡的皇室成員成為新的國王。
你勸告你加入我們的陣營，我們會請新的國王讓你擔任更高級的職務。
我們會讓你所推薦的人進入中央政府的體系內。
我們希望跟你保持和平與合作的關係。
他很生氣的對這個使者說。
你們殺了漢王朝的國王。
我不會與你們保持和平，也不會跟你們合作。
我們選擇繼續征戰，我要打敗你們，並且殺了你們全部的人。
我們要讓全國了人們都知道，邪惡無法戰勝正義的一方。
如果我死前沒有辦法完成這件事，那麼我想在死亡的當下，我將因為心中懊悔導致我的眼睛都無法閉上。
這句成語被用來形容一個人死的時候非常遺憾。這個人因為非常遺憾所以這個人雖然死了但是眼睛無法閉上。
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。
如果是你，你會與那一個殺了國王的軍閥合作嗎?如果你今天死了，你會因為甚麼事情沒做而感到懊悔呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
