He does his best to rescue people in danger(傾身營救)
In the Eastern Han Dynasty of China, there
was a famous minister whose surname was (Guo). His parents called him (Tai),
and when he grew up, his friends called him (Lin Zong). There is a story about
him in the history books.
He likes to make friends, and his friends
come from all walks of life. He interacts with others with a very sincere
heart.
After his mother died, many of his friends
came to pay their condolences. One of the friends who came to pay their
respects was called (Jia Shu).
He and Jia Shu were both born in the same
city, so they have known each other since childhood.
Jia Shu's grandfather and father were both
central government officials, and his family environment was very good.
Jia Shu has a rather arrogant personality,
and to show off his bravery, he often does things that others dare not do.
Therefore, Jia Shu was feared by many people
in their hometown, and many people did not dare to be friends with Jia Shu.
Guo Tai saw Jia Shu coming to pay his
respects to his mother. He did not refuse and expressed his heartfelt thanks to
Jia Shu.
Another friend of Guo Tai's said to Guo Tai
after seeing this situation
Jia Shu is a bad person, how can you let
him participate in your mother's funeral?
You should refuse to associate with him.
Guo Tai told his friend.
Jia Shu did a lot of bad things when he was
young, but according to my observation, after he became an adult and his
personality matured, he already knew that his previous behaviour was wrong, so
he learned to restrain the evil thoughts in his heart, and now his behaviour is
getting better.
What Guo Tai said to his friend was
overheard by Jia Shu, who was deeply moved.
Jia Shu's personality was not bad to begin
with, but because of his good family background, he developed an overbearing
temper.
He wanted to change when he grew up, but
people in his hometown did not notice any change in his behaviour because of
stereotypes.
When Jia Shu heard Guo Tai's words, he was
very happy.
He knew that there was already someone in
the world who had noticed that he was already trying to improve himself, so he
felt very moved in his heart.
Jia Shu later became more active in
changing himself. He took the initiative to look after his neighbours and
friends. If he heard that someone was in trouble, he would do his best to
rescue them.
A few years later, Jia Shu's changes were
seen and recognised by more people. Jia Shu became a respected person in his
hometown.
The literal translation of this phrase is
that a person goes out of his way to rescue those around him who are in
trouble.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Did you make any stupid mistakes when you
were a teenager? How do you think a mature person should behave?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
傾身營救(He does his best to rescue people in
danger)
中國的東漢王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的姓是(郭)。的父母給他取的名字是(泰)，長大後朋友稱呼他的名字是(林宗)。歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他很喜歡交朋友，他交的朋友涵蓋社會上的各個階層，他用很真誠的心與他人交往。
他的母親過世之後，他的許多朋友們都來弔唁，其中有一個來弔唁的朋友的名字叫做(賈淑)。
他跟賈淑都出生在同一座城市，所以他們兩個人從小就認識。。
賈淑的祖父與父親都擔任中央政府官員，他的家庭環境很好。
賈淑的個性比較驕縱而且他為了彰顯自己的勇敢所以他常常做一些別人所不敢做的事情。
因此賈淑在他們的故鄉中被很多百姓所懼怕，很多百姓都不敢跟賈淑做朋友。
郭泰看到賈淑來弔唁他的母親，他沒有拒絕，他對賈淑表示衷心的感謝。
郭泰的另外一個朋友看到這個情形後，就對郭泰說。
賈淑是一個壞人，你怎麼可以讓他參與弔唁你的母親呢?
你應該拒絕跟他來往。
郭泰對他的朋友說。
賈淑在年輕的時候的確做了很多壞事，但是根據我的觀察，在他成年並且個性變得成熟之後，他已經知道自己以前的行為是不對的，所以他已經學會克制心中的惡念，他現在的行為愈來愈好。
郭泰對他朋友說的這些話被賈淑聽到了，賈淑心中非常的感動。
賈淑本來的個性就不壞，但是因為他的家境很好，所以養成了他蠻橫的脾氣。
他長大後想要改變，但是他的故鄉中的人們都因為刻板印象而沒有觀察到他的行為的改變。
當賈淑聽到郭泰的話後他的內心很開心。
他知道這個世界上已經有一個人觀察到他已經在努力讓自己變得更好，所以他的內心覺得很感動。
賈淑後來就更加積極地改變自己，他主動關心他的鄰居與朋友，當他聽到有人遭遇困難時，他會竭盡全力的去援救這個遭遇困難的人。
幾年後，賈淑的改變被更多人所看見與認同。賈淑成為他的家鄉中被人們所尊敬的人。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思指一個人竭盡全力的去援救他身邊那些遭遇困難的人
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。
你少年時有犯過那些愚蠢的錯誤嗎?你認為一個成熟的人應該有怎樣的表現呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
