A typical story of China's ancient friendliness.

Story 1

The hero of the story is Shun among the Five Emperors. After Shun's mother died, his father married another wife. Shun's father, stepmother and stepmother's younger brother all dislike Shun, and constantly find fault with him, always trying to kill him. But every time I am smooth, I hide before I show it, and then I am more kind, modest and polite to my family. In the face of all kinds of difficulties created by his family, Shun can be so generous, not caring about trivial grievances, and even more unreasonable, turning an enemy into a friend. It was because of his friendliness and talent that Yao decided to make him his successor.

The second story-Liuchi Lane.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, a scholar and minister of rites had a dispute with his neighbor Wu Jia because of the homestead problem. Zhang Jia wrote a letter. Zhang Ying wrote a poem indifferently after reading it: "A letter from a thousand miles is only a wall, why not let him be three feet?" The Great Wall of Wan Li is still there today, but there is no Qin Shihuang. "After receiving the letter, the Zhang family didn't understand it at first. They didn't expect brinton to use any means to settle the Wu family. Who knows that they wrote such a letter, but they had to do it. Who knows that the Wu family was moved and gave up three feet. So a six-foot wide alley was formed between the two houses, which became a much-told story. What happened to him? Only in this way can neighbors live in harmony.

The third story-reconciliation.

Many of us are familiar with this story, which is about Zhao in the Warring States Period. Lin Xiangru, a civilian, was sent to the State of Qin and returned to the State of Zhao intact. At the Mianchi meeting, he was witty and brave, and rescued the king of Zhao from the humiliation of the king of Qin. So the prince of Zhao promoted Lin Xiangru to the upper right, ranking above the military commander Lian Po. Veteran Lian Po was always unconvinced by his military achievements, and threatened to embarrass Lin Xiangru if he saw it. Lin Xiangru refused to go to court, so as not to see Lian Po. Outsiders think that Lin Xiangru is afraid of Lian Po, but it is not. Lin Xiangru thought that discord would give Qin an opportunity for Zhao's national interests. When Lian Po learned the truth, he offered a humble apology. From then on, the two became friends of life and death, and * * * defended Zhao. Lin Xiangru's friendliness is not cowardice, but unity of colleagues for national interests.

From the above three stories, we know that friendliness is the lubricant of society, which can make others feel that they are spring breeze, make people have a harmonious relationship, reduce a lot of friction and unnecessary troubles, and contribute to social unity and social progress. Therefore, we all need to inherit the Chinese nation's fine tradition of being kind to others, get along well with our families, neighbors and colleagues, and unite with others to work together for the bright future of our family, society and country. ?
