Your actions give heart ache and my head ache.(痛心疾首)
During China's Spring and Autumn Period, conflicts between kingdoms were common.
The Kingdom of Qin took the initiative to find the Kingdom of Jin to sign a peace treaty, but after the treaty was signed, the King of Jin suddenly died.
The King of Qin took advantage of the change of power in Jin and asked the new King of Jin to join Qin in attacking a kingdom called (Di).
The new king of Jin agreed to Qin's request and prepared to send troops to attack Di.
However, the King of Qin secretly sent an envoy to meet the King of Di, and the envoy said to the King of Di
I have heard that the Kingdom of Jin is preparing to attack you, so you should prepare to fight back.
At the same time, the King of Qin secretly sent an envoy to meet the King of Chu, and the envoy said to the King of Chu
Now that the new king of the Kingdom of Jin has just taken office, the political situation is unstable, so we should form a joint force to attack the Kingdom of Jin.
This action by the Qin Kingdom was later discovered by the new king of the Jin Kingdom, who wrote a letter to the king of the Qin Kingdom.
The letter said, 'You are so dishonest, your actions gives me a headache and a heart ache, I feel very disgusted and hate your actions, so I have decided not to form an alliance with you anymore.
Later, the other kingdoms learned of the Qin's dishonest actions. The kings of all the kingdoms were very angry, so they united to attack the Qin.
The Qin were defeated in this battle.
This idiom directly means that your actions give heartache and headache.
This idiom is used to express that you are very sad or upset about someone else's actions.

痛心疾首(Your actions give heart ache and my
head ache.)
中國的春秋時代，各個王國之間常常發生衝突。
秦王國主動找晉王國簽訂一份和平條約，但是簽約完成之後，晉王國的國王就突然過世了。
秦王國的國王這個時候趁著晉王國政權交替的時候，要求晉王國的新國王與秦王國一起去攻打一個名字叫(狄)的王國。
晉王國的新國王答應了秦王國的請求，準備出兵攻打(狄)王國。
但是秦王國的國王卻暗地裡派遣一位使者去見(狄)王國的國王，這個使者對(狄)王國的國王說。
我聽說晉王國已經準備要攻打你們，所以你們應該應該準備反擊。
同時間，秦王國的國王暗地裡派遣一位者去見楚王國的國王，這個使者對楚王國的國王說。
現在晉王國的新國王剛上任，政治情況不穩定，所以我們應該組成聯合部隊去攻打晉王國。
秦王國的這些舉動後來被晉王國的新國王發現，晉王國的新國王就寫了一封信給秦王國的國王。
這封信裡面寫到，你太沒有信用，你的作為令我感到心痛且頭痛，我對你的這些作為感到非常的厭惡並且痛恨，所以我決定不再跟你結盟。
秦王國這些沒有信用的作為後來也當時的各個王國知道了，所有王國的國王都很氣憤，因此大家就聯合起來攻打秦王國。
秦王國在這場戰役中大敗。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是你的作為令我感到心痛且頭痛
這句成語被用來形容對一個人的作為感到非常的悲傷與難過。
