He was a famous minister who helped found
the Nanliang Kingdom during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China. There
is a story about him recorded in history books.
The name of the king of the Nanliang
Kingdom is (Xiao Yan), and he and (Shen Yue) were originally ministers of the
Southern Qi Kingdom.
With the help of (Shen Yue), he seized
power in the Southern Qi Kingdom. He declared himself the new king and changed
the name of the kingdom to Nanliang Kingdom.
Because of this, he trusted Shen Yue very much,
and Shen Yue also became a very important minister in the central government of
the Nanliang Kingdom.
The good relationship between the two
lasted for decades, until two things happened when the two were old that
destroyed their friendship.
One night, Shen Yue had a dream in which he
dreamt that the King of the Southern Qi Kingdom said to him
You actually betrayed me and helped Xiao
Yan take over the kingdom that was originally mine.
I hate you, I will curse you, I will damn
you.
When Shen Yue awoke from his dream, he was
very frightened. He called a Taoist priest to communicate with the ghost of the
King of Southern Qi Kingdom on his behalf. He asked the Taoist priest to talk
to the ghost of the King of Southern Qi Kingdom.
I did not help Xiao Yan conquer your
kingdom. If you want revenge, go to Xiao Yan, don't come to me.
Later, this matter reached Xiao Yan's ears,
and Xiao Yan was very angry.
Another time, Xiao Yan said to him.
I recently received a very valuable gift, a
sack of chestnuts.
Let's play a game. Let's see who has the
better memory. We will write down the stories about chestnuts in old history
books that we can remember. Whoever remembers the most stories wins.
He nodded in agreement.
By the time the competition was over, Xiao
Yan had written ten stories and he had written seven.
Xiao Yan told him happily.
I have a better memory than you, and I will
win this game.
When he returned home, he told his family
and friends about the incident.
He smiled and told his family and friends.
Since Xiao Yan is the king, I let him win
on purpose. I remember more than ten chestnut stories, but I haven't written
them all.
The reason is that Xiao Yan is a
narrow-minded person. If I write them all down, he will be angry because he
lost to me in the game.
These words later reached Xiao Yan's ears,
and Xiao Yan felt very angry.
The relationship between the two of them
became increasingly estranged because of these two incidents.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you and your good friends ever become
estranged over something? If you were Xiao Yan, would you be angry with Shen
Yue for deliberately losing the game?
I hope this story can give you some new insights.

他是中國的南北王朝時代，協助南梁王國建國的一個著名的大臣。歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
南梁王國的國王的名字叫做(蕭衍)，他與(沈約)原本都是南齊王國的大臣。
他在(沈約)的協助下，奪取了南齊王國的政權，他宣布自己成為新的國王，他把王國的名字改成南梁王國。
因為這個緣故，所以他很信任沈約，沈約也成為南梁王國中央政府內很重要的大臣。
他們兩個人的好關係維持了好幾十年，直到兩個人年老的時候，發生了兩件事，破壞了兩的人的友誼。
有一天晚上，沈約作了一個夢，他在夢中夢到南齊王國的國王對他說。
你竟然背叛我，你協助蕭衍奪取了原本屬於我的王國。
我很恨你，我會詛咒你，我會讓你陷入厄運。
沈約夢醒了之後，他感到非常的害怕，他叫了一個道士來代替他與南齊王國的國王的鬼魂溝通，他請道士跟南齊王國的國王的鬼魂說。
我沒有協助蕭衍奪取你的王國，如果你要報仇，你就去找蕭衍，你不要來找我。
後來這件事情傳到蕭衍的耳中，蕭衍很生氣。
另外有一次，蕭衍對他說。
最近我收到一個很珍貴的禮物，這個禮物是一袋栗子。
我們來玩一個遊戲，我們來比賽誰的記憶力比較好，我們寫下自己記得的古代的歷史書上有關於栗子的故事，誰記得的故事比比較多誰就獲勝。
他點頭答應。
一個小時候比賽結束，蕭衍寫下了十個故事，他寫下了七個故事。
蕭衍很開心地對他說。
我的記憶力比你更好，這場比賽我贏了。
他回家之後，他對他的家人與朋友提起這件事。
他笑著對他的家人與朋友說。
因為蕭衍是國王，所以我故意讓他勝利，我記得的板栗的故事超過十個，但我沒有不全部寫出來。
我會這樣做的原因是因為蕭衍是一個小心眼的人，我如果全部寫出來，他會因為比賽輸給我而生氣。
這幾句話後來傳到蕭衍的耳中，蕭衍覺得很生氣。
他們兩個人的關係就因為這兩件事情而愈來愈疏遠。
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。
你與你的好朋友曾經因為什麼事情而變得疏遠嗎?你如果是蕭衍，你會因為沈約故意輸了比賽而生氣嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
