Sweep away and eliminate all the injustice and unfairness in this society.(掃除天下)
There was a famous minister in the Eastern
Han Dynasty of China. His name was Chen Fan. His story is written in history
books.
He lived in the last years of the Eastern
Han Dynasty. The king at that time trusted some of the eunuchs around him, and
many relatives of the queen at that time also worked in the central government.
The political atmosphere at that time was
very bad, and many kind and upright officials were marginalized. He joined
forces with some upright and kind officials to fight against those treacherous
and flattering eunuchs and relatives of the queen.
He was a very righteous man. When the king
of the Eastern Han Dynasty did something wrong, he dared to bravely express his
opposition to the king.
Something happened when he was 15 years
old.
His father took a laissez-faire approach to
his upbringing.
He had his own room and his own yard.
One day a good friend of his father's came
to the house.
After the friend chatted with his father,
his father showed his friend his house and introduced his family to his good
friend.
He was studying when his father and the
friend came into his room.
His father's friend saw that his room was
messy and the small garden outside the room was full of weeds.
His father's friend said to him with a
smile.
Hello young man, I am a good friend of your
father. I see that your room is very messy. I advise you to
Always keep your surroundings clean and
tidy.
He put the book down and spoke to his
father's friend.
What you said makes sense. My room is
dirty, but compared to my room, the society we live in is even dirtier.
We live in a society with many greedy
officials and many people who need help, so I think I should not spend my
precious time tidying my room, I should spend my time learning more knowledge.
I am young and I don't have the ability
now, but when I grow up I hope to have the power to change the many unfair and
unjust phenomena in this society.
I think building a fair and just society is
more important than keeping a room clean.
His father's friend was shocked to hear his
answer.
His father's friend told him
You are a boy with ambitious goals. I think
you will be very successful when you grow up. I wish you to achieve your goals
soon.
I hope you can use your knowledge to sweep
away and eliminate all the injustice and unfairness in this society as soon as
possible.
This idiom means to sweep away and
eliminate all the injustice and unfairness in this society.

掃除天下(Sweep away and eliminate all the
injustice and unfairness in this society.)
中國的東漢王朝有一個著名的大臣，他名字叫做陳蕃，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他生活的年代事東漢王朝的末年，當時的國王信任他身邊的一些宦官，當時的王后的很多親戚也進入中央政府內工作。
當時的政治風氣很不好，很多善良又正直的官員被排擠，他與一些正直又善良的官員一起對抗那些奸詐又喜歡奉承的宦官與王后的親戚。
他是一個非常正直的人，當東漢王朝的國王做錯事的時候，他敢勇敢地向國王提出反對的意見。
他在15歲那一年曾經發生過一件事。
他的父親對他的教育方式採取放任的態度。
他有一個自己專屬的房間，他還有一個專屬於他自己的一個獨立的院子。
有一天，他的父親的一個好朋友來到他家。
這個朋友與他的父親聊天後，他的父親向他的朋友參觀他的家，他的父親同時把他的家人介紹給自己的這個好朋友認識。
當他的父親與這個朋友走入他的房間時他正在念書。
他的父親的朋友看到他的房間很亂，房間外面的那個小院子裏面長滿了雜草。
他的父親的朋友笑著對他說。
年輕人，你好，我是你的父親的好朋友，我看到你的房間非常髒亂，我勸你應該
要時刻保持環境的乾淨與整齊。
他放下書本對他父親的朋友說。
你說的很有道理，我的房間的確很髒亂，但是跟我的房間相比，我們生活的這個社會更加的髒亂。
我們生活的這個社會中有很多貪婪的官員，還有很多需要幫助的百姓，所以我認為現在不應該把寶貴的時間放在整理房間上，我應該把時間放在學習更多的知識上。
我現在年輕還沒有能力，但當我長大後我希望可以有力量改變這個社會上的很多不公平與不公正的現象。
我認為建立一個公平公正的社會比維持一個房間的乾淨更重要。
他的父親的朋友很疑惑地問。
你為何說你沒有時間呢?
他的父親的朋友聽完他的回答後很受震撼。
他的父親的朋友對他說。
你是一個有著遠大目標的男孩子，我相信你成年之後一定會很有成就，我祝福你早日達成你的目標。
我祝願你可以早日用你的知識把這個社會上的不公平與不正義的事情都掃掉與除掉。
這句成語的意思是把這個社會上的不公平與不正義的事情都掃掉與除掉。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的感受或有怎樣的想法呢。
你生活的社會的治安好嗎?你還記得你年輕時的夢想嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
