He doesn't value money, he values those who have talent.(輕財敬士)

 

During the Three Kingdoms period in China, there was a famous general in the Dongwu Kingdom. His name is (Gan Ning).

History books tell a story about him.

 

He has a violent personality and vulgar behaviour and language, but he is also a cheerful person who has many ideas.

He doesn't value money, he values those who have talent.

He takes good care of his subordinates, so the soldiers under his command are very loyal to him.

 

In 213 AD, the Kingdom of Cao Wei sent an army of 400,000 men to attack the Kingdom of Dongwu, and the King of the Kingdom of Dongwu led 70,000 men to fight.

 

The armies of both sides are in a stalemate at (Ruxukou), and both sides want to wait for an opportunity to attack.

One day, the king of the Kingdom of Dongwu had a secret meeting with him.

 

The king said to him.

The difference in strength between us and the army of the Cao Wei Kingdom is too great, and our chances of winning in a direct confrontation are very small.

In order to break their morale and raise the fighting spirit of our soldiers, I order you to form a death squad.

You will lead this death squad to raid Cao Wei's kingdom tonight.

 

He accepted this important task.

 

That afternoon, he selected over 100 of the bravest and best soldiers in his army.

That night, he had a sumptuous dinner with these soldiers.

After dinner, he raised his glass and said to everyone.

I would like to offer you a glass of Chinese rice wine.

This is the best glass of Chinese rice wine that the King has given me, and I am sharing it with you all.

We are all drinking this cup of Chinese rice wine together, which means that we have the same aspiration and determination.

 

It was at this time that he saw that one of the sergeants, out of more than 100 people, had not picked up his wine glass. The sergeant had a look of fear and unease on his face.

 

He drew his knife, put it on his knee and said loudly to the sergeant.

My identity and status are higher than yours, and everything I have is more than yours, but at this moment I'm not afraid or worried.

I believe we will be able to successfully complete this mission to repay the King's favour. As long as this mission is successful, I don't care if I die for it.

 

I am not you, tell me, why are you afraid? Do you think this mission will fail, do you think you will sacrifice your life in vain?

 

The sergeant was inspired to fight when he heard what he said.

The sergeant picked up his glass and said to him.

I think we will succeed in this mission and come back alive.

 

At about 10 o'clock that night, their death squad set out to carry out their mission.

 

This idiom means that he does not value money, but he values those who are talented.

 

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

Do you fear death? What do you think is more important, money or talent?

I hope this story can give you a new harvest.

輕財敬士(He doesn't value money, he values those who have talent.)

 

中國的三國時代,東吳王國有一個著名的將軍。他的名字是(甘寧)

歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。

 

他的個性凶暴而且行為與語言都很粗俗,但是他也是一個性格開朗而且會想出很多點子的人。

他不重視錢財,他重視那些有才能的人。

他很照顧自已的部屬,所以他麾下的士兵們都對他非常的忠誠。

 

西元213年,曹魏王國派出40萬人的軍隊要攻打東吳王國,東吳王國的國王率領7萬人迎戰。

 

雙方的軍隊在濡須口這個地方僵持不下,雙方都想要等待機會發動攻擊。

有一天東吳王國的國王與他密會。

 

國王對他說。

我們與曹魏王國的軍隊的實力相差太大,正面對戰我們的勝算很低。

為了打擊對方的士氣並且提振我們的士兵的鬥志,我命令你組織一支敢死隊。

你帶領這支敢死隊在今天晚上突襲曹魏王國。

 

他接下了這個重要的任務。

 

當天下午,他挑選出了100多個他的軍隊中最勇敢與戰技最好的士兵。

當天晚上,他與這些士兵們一起吃了豐盛的晚餐。

晚餐之後,他拿起自已的酒杯,他對所有人說。

我敬大家一杯中國米酒。

這是國王賜給我的一罈最好的中國米酒,我特別與大家一起分享。

我們大家一起喝這一罈中國米酒、代表我們有著相同的心志與決心。

 

這時候,這他看到這100多個人中,有一個中士沒有拿起自已酒杯。這個中士的臉上有著恐懼與不安的表情。

 

他拔出自己的刀放在自已的膝蓋上,他大聲地對這中士說。

我的身分與地位比你更高,我所擁有的一切比你更多,但是此刻的我沒有任何的恐懼與牽掛。

我認為我們一定能夠成功地完成這個任務以回報國王對我們的恩惠,只要這個任務成功,就算我因此死亡我也不在乎。

 

我不是你,你告訴我,你為何恐懼呢?你是否認為這個任務不會成功,你是否認為你會白白犧牲你的生命呢?

 

這個中士聽到他說的話後被激發起心中的鬥志。

這個中士拿起酒杯,對他說。

我認為我們會成功完成這個任務,我們也會活著回來。

 

當天晚上10點多,他們這隻敢死隊出發執行任務。

 

這句成語的意思是他不重視錢財,他重視那些有才能的人

 

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。

你會恐懼死亡嗎?你認為金錢與才能何者比較重要呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
