Province.
Many people from the Western Jin Dynasty
fled to the area under his jurisdiction.
One day, he and his military staff were
planning an event.
A military adviser said to him
Recently, many people from the capital of
the Western Jin Dynasty have fled to the city where we live, and some of them
are well-known singers and musicians in the original capital.
How about we invite these singers and
musicians to perform? We can watch the performance while we eat.
After hearing the military officer's
suggestion, he shook his head and said to the military officer
The capital of the Western Jin Dynasty has
been taken and the king has been killed.
I am a general of the Western Jin Dynasty,
but my talents are not enough. I can only block the enemy's attacks. I have no
way to defeat the enemy and regain our lost territory.
When I thought of this, I felt very ashamed
in my heart.
Under these circumstances, I was not in the
mood to watch singers and musicians perform.
After the establishment of the Eastern Jin
Dynasty, he swore allegiance to the new king.
One day, a military adviser told him.
There was a general in the Western Jin
Dynasty who did not want to be loyal to the new king.
This general believed that only direct
descendants of the original kings of the Western Jin Kingdom could serve as
kings.
The king of the Eastern Jin Kingdom ordered
an attack on the general who refused to be loyal to him.
Should we send troops to attack this
general as well?
He shook his head and said to the military
advisor.
I am a good friend of that general, and
although I disagree with his behaviour in not accepting the new king, I will
not attack my friend.
I will not betray a friend to strengthen my
personal political future.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? If
your country accepted refugees, how would you treat refugees from other
countries?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是中國的東晉王朝一個著名的大臣，他是一個非常的真誠而且正直的人。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
西元316年，西晉王朝被(前趙)王國的軍隊打敗，西晉王朝的國王被殺。西晉王國滅亡。
西元317年，西晉王朝的一個皇室成員名字叫做(司馬睿)的皇室成員在中國江蘇省的建康市宣布成立東晉王國。
在這個混亂的時期，他擔任現在中國的湖北省周圍地區的最高軍事將領。
西晉王朝有很多人逃到他所管轄的這個區域。
有一天，他與他的軍事幕僚在計畫安排一場活動的時候。
有一個軍事幕僚對他說。
最近有很多人從西晉王朝的首都逃難到我們住的這座城市，其中有一些人是原本首都中很知名的歌手與樂師。
我們要不要邀請這些歌手與樂師來演出，我們可以邊吃飯邊看表演。
他聽到這個軍事幕僚的建議後，他搖了搖頭並對這個軍事幕僚說。
西晉王朝的首都被攻陷，國王被殺。
我是西晉王朝的將軍但是我的才能不夠，我只能阻擋敵人的攻擊，我沒有辦法戰勝敵人並且收復我們那些已經失去國土。
想到這些，我的內心感到非常羞愧。
在這種情況之下，我沒有心情看任何歌手與樂師的演出。
東晉王朝成立之後，他宣誓效忠新的國王。
有一天，有一個軍事幕僚對他說。
西晉王朝中有一個將軍，他不願意效忠新的國王。
這個將軍認為原本西晉王國的國王的直系子孫才可以擔任國王。
東晉王國的國王下令攻打這個不肯效忠於他的將軍。
我們是否也應該派遣軍隊去攻打這個將軍。
他搖了搖頭並對這個軍事幕僚說。
我與那個將軍是好朋友，雖然我不認同他不接受新的國王的這個行為，但我不會去攻打自己的朋友。
我不會為了鞏固我個人的政治前途而做出背叛朋友的事。。
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。
你曾經被朋友背叛過嗎?假設你的國家中會收容難民，你會怎樣對待那些來自別的國家的難民呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
