There is a story about him recorded in
history books.
He showed outstanding talents when he was
young.
He was very eloquent and good at writing.
One day, an older, more senior official met
him for the first time.
He was a little nervous, so his performance
that day was a little off.
The senior official saw his reaction and
smiled at him.
A little story from history suddenly came
to mind.
In ancient China there was a great king.
The king once went to visit a very wise man.
After seeing this great king, this very
wise man was very calm.
After hearing this from the high official,
he understood that the high official was teasing him.
He took a deep breath, relaxed and smiled
as he replied to the official.
You've just arrived in our city as the
chief administrator, so I don't know if you'll be as fair and generous as that
great king in ancient times.
That's why I'm so nervous.
He responded intelligently and politely to
the senior official's teasing.
He and the senior official later became
very good friends.
When he grew up, he entered the central
government of the Eastern Han Dynasty as an official.
He lived during the last years of the
Eastern Han Dynasty, when the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty lost
control over the princes and generals throughout China.
All of China was in chaos.
He retired early and returned to his
hometown.
After returning to his hometown, he often
criticised the unfair behaviour of one of the most powerful warlords in the
Eastern Han Dynasty at the time.
This warlord hated him so much that he
later found an opportunity to kill him.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts

他是東漢王朝末年一位著名的大臣，也是一位著名的文學家。
歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
他年輕的時候就表現出出眾的才能。
他的口才很好，他也很會寫作。
有一天，當時有一個年紀很大的比他資深的官員與他第一次見面。
他的心情有點緊張，因此他當天的表現有點失常。
這個資深的官員看到他的反應後就笑著對他說。
我突然想到一個歷史上的小故事。
中國古代有一個偉大的國王，這個國王有一次去擺訪一個很有智慧的人。
這個很有智慧的人看到這個偉大的國王後，這個很有智慧的人表現得很平靜。
他聽到這個資深的官員說完這句話後，他明白這個資深的官員在揶揄他。
他吸了一口氣，他放鬆心情後笑著回答這個資深的官員。
你剛到我們這座城市擔任最高行政首長，所以我不知道你是否會像那個古代的偉大國王一樣的公平與寬厚。
因此我才會表現得如此緊張。
他很聰明而且不失禮貌的回應這個資深官員的揶揄。
他與這個資深的官員後來成為很好的朋友。
他成年後進入東漢王朝的中央政府擔任官員。
他生活的年代是東漢王朝的末年，東漢王朝的皇室失去對中國各地的諸侯與將軍的控制力。
整個中國陷入了混亂的局面。
他就提早退休回到自已的家鄉。
他回到自已的家鄉後，他常常批評當時東漢王朝最有權力的一個軍閥的行為是不公義的。
這個軍閥很討厭他，這個軍閥後來就找了一個機會殺了他。
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。
你曾經被別人揶揄嗎?你如果是他，你會怎樣回應這個資深的官員的揶揄呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
