People and things of integrity in the Chinese nation

Su Wu was detained by Khan, who refused to submit to both carrot and stick.

Su Wu (former 140- former 60), Zi Zijing, born in Ling Du (now southwest of Xi, Shaanxi Province), was the son of Su Jian. In his early years, he took his father's shadow as his own lang and moved to the stable prison slightly. In the first year of Tianhan (before 100), I worshipped the corps commander. At that time, the relationship between the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains and the Xiongnu, a minority regime in the northwest, was good and bad. In BC 100, the Xiongnu regime Sinkhan ascended the throne. In order to show friendship, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Su Wu to Xiongnu with 100 people and many possessions. Unexpectedly, when Su Wu completed his mission and prepared to return to China, civil strife broke out in the upper Huns, and Su Wu and his party were implicated, detained and asked to betray the Han Dynasty and submit to Khan.

At first, Khan sent someone to lobby Su Wu, promising him a generous salary and high officials, but Su Wu flatly refused. Seeing that persuasion was useless, the Huns decided to use an ascetic monk. It was winter and it was snowing heavily. Khan ordered Su Wu to be locked in an open cellar, without food and water, hoping that this would change Su Wu's faith. Over time, Su Wu was tortured in the cellar. When he was thirsty, he ate a handful of snow. When he is hungry, he will chew the sheepskin jacket he wears. After several days, Su Wu, who was dying, still refused to give in and had to let Su Wu out.

Khan knew that there was no hope of persuading Su Wu to surrender, but he respected Su Wu's integrity more and more, didn't have the heart to kill Su Wu, and didn't want him to return to his own country, so he decided to exile Su Wu to Siberia's Baikal region and let him shepherd sheep. Before he left, Khan summoned Su Wu and said, "Since you don't surrender, I'll let you go herding sheep. When the ram gives birth to a lamb, I will let you go back to the Central Plains. "

After being separated from his companions, Su Wu was exiled to the inaccessible Lake Baikal. Here, you can't escape on your own. The only people who accompanied Su Wu were the ambassador stick representing the Han Dynasty and a small flock of sheep. Su Wu used this ambassador stick to herd sheep every day, thinking that one day he could bring it back to his own country. In this way, day after day, year after year, all the ornaments on the ambassador's stick fell off, and Su Wu's hair and beard turned white.

In Lake Baikal, Suwu herded sheep for nineteen years. For more than ten years, Khan, the Hun who ordered his imprisonment, has passed away. Even in Su Wu, the old emperor died and his son succeeded to the throne. At that time, Xin Khan carried out the policy of reconciliation with the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately sent envoys to take Su Wu back to his own country.

Su Wu was warmly welcomed in Han Dynasty, and all the people from the emperor paid tribute to this hero who was rich in national integrity. More than two thousand years have passed, and Su Wu's lofty integrity has become a model of China's ethical personality and a national cultural psychological factor.

Zhu Ziqing was seriously ill and would rather starve to death than accept "relief food" from the United States.

It happened in 1948, three years after the end of World War II, and it was the civil war in China.

1947, the United States claimed that it was threatened by the * * * production party and intended to establish a sphere of influence in Asia, so "the occupation policy against Japan was to foster a powerful Japan ..." The introduction of the American aid policy to Japan had a tremendous impact on the modern history of Asia, and it was precisely because of the protection of the United States that Japanese militarism and Nazis were not completely eliminated by Germany, leaving behind the arrogant status quo of today's small Japan.

Because of the American policy of "aiding Japan", China quickly organized a movement against American aid to Japan. The initiator is Wu Han. 1In June, 948, Zhu Ziqing took part in a demonstration against American aid to Japan in Beijing, and signed a declaration protesting against American aid to Japan and refusing to accept American flour.

In August of the same year, Zhu Ziqing died of stomach trouble and hunger. Before his death, he also told his family not to buy American-aided flour. Mao Zedong praised Zhu Ziqing for starving to death rather than accepting the spirit of American "relief powder" and praised him for "showing the heroism of our nation".

The backbone and integrity of ancient scholars are beyond our pseudo-scholars. If our war of resistance can achieve a little bit of Zhu Ziqing, why not? It happened that many people shouted slogans and few people did practical things.

Tao Yuanming does not bend his back for five buckets of rice.

Source: The Book of Jin? Biography of Tao Qian: "I sigh:' Five bushels of rice can't bend your back, and boxing is the evil in the village! "

Interpretation of righteous five doumi: the salary of the county magistrate in Jin Dynasty refers to the meager salary later; Bend down: Bend down to salute, which means bending down to salute others. Metaphor is lofty, spineless and unmoved by fortune.

That year, Tao Yuanming, who had passed the "year of no doubt" (4 1 year old), was persuaded by his friends to serve as Pengze county magistrate again. Eighty-one days after he arrived, I met Du You sent by Xunyang County to inspect official business. Liu Yun, a native of Xunyang County, is famous for his greed for money. He asks for bribes from the county twice a year in the name of patrol, and every time he returns with a full load, otherwise he will plant it. The county official said, "When the belt is fastened, welcome it." Is to dress neatly, prepare gifts, and greet Du You respectfully. Tao Yuanming sighed, "How can I bow down to the children in the village for five buckets of rice?" How can I humbly bribe these little people for the county magistrate's salary of five dou meters? Say that finish, hang the crown, resign and return to China. Since then, he has been studying and writing, and at the same time, he has been working in Longmu.
