fight never that until he dead against strong difficult take |
In ancient China, the State of Wu made an attack(攻击)on the State of Yue. The king of Wu was badly hurt and soon . His son Fu Chai became the new king. Fu was very sad and angry and he decided
back for his father’s death. He trained his army strictly
it was very strong. Three years later, he led his army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian, who
to the State of Wu. Gou Jian was put into a small black stone house
was full of terrible smell and was made to keep horses. Gou worked hard and tried to keep
quiet, but he
forgot his pain. Many years later, he was set free. Gou secretly trained his army after he went back to his own state. In order to make himself strong-minded he slept on firewood and ate a gall bladder(苦胆) before having dinner and going to bed every night. After a few years, his country became even
than before. Then Gou took hold of a golden chance to fight
Wu and won the war in the end.
If one voluntarily(自愿地) works very hard and voluntarily stands up to pains and in order to succeed, we might call him a “Gou Jian”, and his story, a “Gou Jian’s story”.
