His grandfather helped the founding king of
the Eastern Han Dynasty to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty.
His father was a very important general in
the Eastern Han Dynasty.
His father was very tolerant towards his
subordinates, but his father taught his children in a very strict way. As a
result, he and his brothers are of good character. He and his brothers are not
as proud and indulgent as other nobles.
His sister grew up to become the queen of
the Eastern Han Dynasty. He and his four other brothers all held important
official positions in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His family was the most powerful
family of the time.
After serving as a general in the Eastern
Han Dynasty, he recommended many talented and moral people to serve as
officials in the central government. He united these ministers to assist the
king in ruling the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Although his family was very wealthy, he
and his brothers followed their grandfather's instructions. They are very
modest and frugal and do not become arrogant because of their status.
His life seemed perfect. But he died in
sorrow.
His sister died in 121 AD.
The king of the Eastern Han Kingdom at that
time was not his sister's child. The King of the Eastern Han Dynasty was the
child of his sister's husband's brother.
The king of the Eastern Han Dynasty thought
that Deng Zhi's family had too much power. The king of the Eastern Han Dynasty
was afraid that Deng Zhi's family would rebel.
In addition, some people at that time
deliberately slandered his family, so the King of Eastern Han Dynasty ordered
everyone in his family to be dismissed from their positions. The king of the
Eastern Han Dynasty even ordered the confiscation of the property of everyone
in his family.
He believed that he was very loyal to the
Eastern Han Dynasty.
After suffering such a severe blow, he went
on a hunger strike in protest.
History books record that he and his son
went on hunger strike together, and both he and his son later died as a result
of the hunger strike.

in your life?

他擔任東漢王朝的將軍後他推薦了很多有才能與有品德的人進入中央政府擔任官員，他團結了這些大臣一起協助國王治理東漢王朝。
雖然他的家族非常興盛，但是他與他的兄弟們都遵守他的祖父的遺訓。他們非常的謙卑與節儉，他們沒有因為自己的身分而變的驕傲自大。
他的人生看起來非常的完美。但是他卻在悲傷中死去。
西元121年，他的妹妹過世。
當時的東漢王國的國王不是他的妹妹的孩子，當時的東漢王國的國王是他的妹妹的丈夫的兄弟的小孩。
這位東漢王國的國王認為鄧騭的家族的權力太大，這位東漢王國的國王恐懼鄧騭的家族造反。
加上當時有一些人故意中傷他的家族，東漢王國的國王便下令免除他的家族中的所有人的職務。東漢王國的國王更下令把他的家族中的所有人的財產都充公。
他認為自己對東漢王國非常的忠誠。
他遭受了這個巨大的打擊後就絕食表示抗議。
歷史書上記載他與他的兒子都一起絕食，他與他的兒子後來都因為絕食而死亡。
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。

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
