I find life very monotonous and boring(百無聊賴)
A famous warlord in China's Eastern Han
Dynasty, his name was (Gongsun Zan).
There is a story about him recorded in the
history books.
After the fall of the New Chinese Dynasty,
many warlords appeared in China.
He was born in that era.
After becoming a warlord, he established
his own administrative centre in Yijing City.
The city was located in what is now Hebei
Province, China.
His original plan was to wait quietly in
the city while the other warlords fought each other.
After the other warlords had used up a
large number of their troops, he launched an attack on them.
This was the easiest way for him to win the
final victory.
But reality was not what he expected.
In 198 AD, a warlord with powerful military
might led an army to attack Yijing City. The name of this powerful warlord was
(Yuan Shao).
Yuan Shao's army surrounded Yijing City,
and he and his men were trapped inside Yijing City.
Yuan Shao's army surrounded the city for
several months.
Gongsun Zan and his army were unable to
break the enemy's siege. They were trapped inside the city. They saw that the
food in the city was dwindling day by day. Gongsun Zan and his soldiers became
very frustrated.
He wrote a letter to his son describing the
scene in Yijing City.
Yuan Shao continued to attack us. He
followed me around like a ghost, and it bothered me.
Every day when I was in the city, I heard
the sound of the enemy's war drums and horns coming from outside the city.
Standing on the city wall, I saw the enemy
constantly looking for opportunities to attack every day.
I have been trapped in this city for so
long that my senses have been numbed.
The monotony and boredom became unbearable
as the days passed, and we were locked in a stalemate with our enemy.
Hurry up and think of a way to ask the
warlords who are allied with us to help me. If you successfully unite with
other warlords to help me, you will attack the enemy from the outside, and we
will open the city gate and attack the enemy from the inside.
We will attack our enemies simultaneously,
and I believe we can successfully defeat this army led by (Yuan Shao).
His letter was intercepted by Yuan Shao's
army. A few months later, Yijing City was conquered and he burned himself to
death.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
finds life monotonous and boring.

百無聊賴(I find life very monotonous and
boring)
中國的東漢時代的一個著名的軍閥，他的名字叫做(公孫瓚)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
中國新王朝滅亡後，中國各地出現了許多軍閥。
他出生在這個時代。
他成為軍閥後，在易京城建立了自己的行政中心。
該城市位於現在的中國河北省。
他原先計畫在這座城市中靜靜地等待其他的軍閥們互相爭鬥。
等其他軍閥們消耗了大量的兵力之後，他再對這些軍閥們發動攻擊。
這樣他就能用最簡單的方式贏得最後的勝利。
但是現實的情況不像他所期望。
西元198年，有一個軍事實力強大的軍閥帶著軍隊來攻打易京城，這個軍事實力強大的軍閥的名字叫做(袁紹)。
袁紹的軍隊包圍住易京城，他與他的部下們受困在易京城內。
袁紹的軍隊包圍這座城市連續好幾個月。
公孫瓚與他的軍隊沒有辦法突破敵人的包圍，他們被困在這座城市內，他們看到城內的糧食一天一天的減少，公孫瓚與他的士兵們都很沮喪。
他寫了一封信給他的兒子，他在信中如此描繪易京城中的景況。
袁紹持續對我們發動進攻，他就像是鬼魂一樣糾纏著我讓我覺得很煩心。
我在城內每天都聽到城外傳過來敵人的戰鼓和號角的聲響。
我站在城牆上每天都看到敵人不停地找機會進攻。
我已經受困在這座城市中很久了，我的感覺都已經麻痺了。
日子一天一天的過，我們與我們的敵人僵持不下，這種單調與無聊的狀態令人難以忍受。
你快點想辦法拜託與我們結盟的軍閥一起來協助我吧，你若順利聯合其他的軍閥來幫助我，那麼你們到時候敵人的外圍攻打他們，我們打開城門從敵人的內部襲擊他們。
我們同時夾擊我們的敵人，我相信我們可以順利的戰勝(袁紹)所領導的這支軍隊。
他這封信被袁紹的軍隊攔截，幾個月後，易京城被攻破，他自焚而死。
這句成語被用來形容一個人覺得生活單調又無聊。
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。
你是否曾經覺得生活無聊又單調嗎?你對你的生命仍然保持熱情嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
