He was a famous writer in the Eastern Jin
Dynasty of China, and his story is recorded in history books.
When he was still a young man, he had
already shown his literary talents and had become a celebrity of his time.
At that time, there was a young man who was
about the same age as him. This young man was called Wang Xiu.
At the age of 13, Wang Xiu wrote works that
amazed the literary world at that time.
People at that time said that he and Wang
Xiu were both the most talented rising stars in the literary world at that
time, and that their abilities were equal.
After hearing these words, he felt very
unconvinced. He felt that his talents were far superior to Wang Xiu's.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the entire
society was fond of studying Taoist knowledge.
Writers and celebrities of the time often
held forums to share their experiences in researching Taoist knowledge.
One day he met Wang Xiu at such a forum.
He thought in his heart, "I must take
this opportunity to show my talent. I want everyone to know that my talent is
far greater than Wang Xiu's.
He took the initiative to invite Wang Xiu
to debate with him.
In the debate, he acted as the affirmative
and Wang Xiu as the negative. His eloquence was so good that he won the debate.
He and Wang Xiu had a second debate on the
same topic. This time he acted as the negative side and Wang Xiu as the
positive side. After dozens of minutes of intense debate, he won the second
debate.
He was very proud, he said to a famous
master who presided over the debate.
After listening to these two debates
between me and Wang Xiu, what do you think?
The famous master looked at him and all the
spectators. The master slowly expressed his opinion.
Your performance in these two debates was
very good, and your debating skills were very good, but I think your mentality
is not good.
The real purpose of our debate is to
discover the truth through debate, but you have forgotten this most important
purpose in this debate.
You are lost in the false purpose of
overpowering and defeating the other person.
After listening to the Master's words, he
fell into deep thought.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you feel you are better than others?
Have you ever been in a similar situation where you only saw the results in
front of you and forgot the real purpose of doing it?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是中國的東晉王朝一個著名的文學家，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他還是青年的時候，他就已經展露出他的文學才華，他已經成為一個當時的名人。
跟他年紀差不多，當時還有一個年輕人，這個年輕人的名字叫做王修。
王修13歲就寫出了令當時的文學界驚嘆的作品。
當時的人們說，他與王修都是當時最有才華的文壇新星，兩個人的實力不相上下。
他聽到這些話後，他覺得很不服氣，他認為自己的才能遠遠超過王修。
東晉王朝的時代，整個社會都很喜歡研究道家的學問。
當時的文學家與名人們，常常舉辦一些論壇，分享自己對於道家的學問的研究心得。
有一天，在一場論壇上，他遇到了王修。
他的心裡想，我一定要利用這個機會展現我的才能，我要讓所有人都知道我的才能遠遠超過王修。
他便主動邀請王修一起辯論。
在這一場辯論中他擔任正方而王修擔任反方，他的口才太好了，他在這場辯論中取得了勝利。
他與王修又進行第二場辯論，針對同一個題目，他這次擔任反方而王修擔任正方。經過幾十分鐘的激烈交辯中，他又贏了第二場辯論的勝利。
他非常的驕傲，他對主持這場辯論會的一個著名的大師說。
你聽完我與王修的這兩場辯論，你有怎樣的感想呢?
這個著名的大師看著他與所有圍觀的人。這個大師慢慢的說了他的看法。
你這兩場辯論的表現非常的出色，你的辯論的技巧非常的好，但是你的心態我認為不好。
我們舉辦辯論的真正想要達成的目的是要藉由辯論來發現真理，而你在這辯論中你已經忘了這個最重要的目的。
你迷失在壓倒與戰勝對方的這個錯誤的目的中。
他聽完這個大師的話後，他陷入了沉思。
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。
你是否會覺得你比其他人優秀呢?你是否曾經陷入類似的只看到眼前的結果而忘了做這件事情的真正目的的情況呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
