He was a famous general in the Liu Song
Kingdom during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China.
There is a story about him recorded in
history books.
His father and mother died when he was very
young and his two brothers took him to live with them.
When he grew up, he joined the army of the
Eastern Jin Dynasty with his two brothers.
After joining the army, he showed his
extraordinary military talent. He led the army to win many battles, and his
military rank continued to rise.
In 416 AD, he followed the most powerful
general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to participate in the campaign against the
later Qin Dynasty. He took the lead in capturing a large city of great
strategic value to the Later Qin Dynasty and captured more than 4,000 people.
He released more than 4,000 people
unconditionally. These people did not expect to escape the threat of death, so
many later joined his army.
One of his military advisers asked him. Why
don't you kill these people?
he replied.
The objects we want to eliminate are the
evil ruling classes of the post-Qin dynasty.
These civilians are innocent, and we should
treat them with mercy.
His behaviour was different from other
military generals of the time, so he won the respect and love of many people.
In 420 AD, the most powerful general of the
Eastern Jin Dynasty, whom he followed, founded the Liu Song Kingdom, and he
became the most important military leader in the Liu Song Kingdom.
In the army of the Liu Song Kingdom at that
time, there were many military generals who were very good at fighting and who
were led by him. Therefore, he controlled the greatest military power of the
Liu Song Kingdom.
His wife once said to him.
According to Taoism, you have great merits
that surpass all others. This is a bad state. Others will be jealous of you,
and you may suffer misfortune.
You'd better leave this position, apply for
retirement and go back to your hometown.
He smiled and did not take his wife's
advice.
In 436 AD, his wife's fears came true and
the third king of the Liu Song Kingdom ordered his arrest. He was accused of
treason and sentenced to death.

他是中國南北王朝時代的劉宋王國的一位著名的將軍。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他的父親與母親在他很小的時候就都過世了，他的兩個哥哥帶著他一起生活。
他長大後，就跟著兩個哥哥一起加入東晉王朝的軍隊。
他加入軍隊後，展現出他過人的軍事天賦，他帶領軍隊打贏了很多場戰役，他的軍階也不斷的提高。
西元416年，他跟隨東晉王朝最有軍事實力的將軍一起參與攻打後秦王朝的戰役。他率先攻下了後秦王朝一座很有戰略價值的大城市，他俘虜了超過4000個人。
他無條件地釋放這4000多個人，這些人沒有想到他們竟然能夠逃脫死亡的威脅，所以很多人後來都加入了他的軍隊。
他的一個軍事幕僚問他。你為何不殺了這些人呢，
他回答。
我們要消滅的對象是後秦王朝的那些不好的統治階層。
這些平民百姓是無辜的，我們應該以仁慈對待他們。
他的行為有別於當時別的軍事將領，因此他贏得了許多百姓的尊敬與愛戴。
西元420年，他所跟隨的東晉王朝最有實力的將軍自己成立了劉宋王國，他成為劉宋王國中最重要的軍事領導。
當時的劉宋王國的軍隊中，有很多非常擅長作戰的軍事將領都是他所帶領出來的，也因此，他掌握了劉宋王國最大的軍事力量。
他的太太曾經對他說。
根據道家的看法，你有著超過所有人的極大的功勳，這是一種不好的狀態，別人會忌妒你，你有可能會遭致災禍。
你最好離開這個職位，你最好申請退休回去自己的家鄉。
他笑了笑，他沒有聽從他的妻子的建議。
西元436年，他的妻子所擔心的情況成真，劉宋王國的第三任國王下令逮捕他。他被控叛國，他被處以死刑。
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。
你如果是他，你死的時候會後悔沒有聽妻子的話嗎?你在遇到一件好事情的時候，是否會想到可能隨之而來的災禍呢。
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
