Two years later, Fu Cha, the son of Helu, led his troops to defeat the Yue Kingdom, and the Yue King Gou Jian was escorted to the Wu Kingdom as a slave, and Gou Jian endured humiliation and served the King of Wu for three years, and the Fu Cha discouraged him and sent him back to the Yue Kingdom.

In fact, Gou Jian did not give up his desire for revenge, he was obedient to King Wu on the surface, but secretly trained elite soldiers, strengthened the government and waited for the opportunity to counterattack Wu. Hardship can temper the will, but comfort will wear out the will. Gou Jian was afraid that he would covet the comfort in front of him and consume the will to avenge the shame, so he arranged a difficult living environment for himself.

He slept without a mattress at night, and only laid some firewood and grass (called wages in ancient times), and hung a bitter gall in the house, and he would taste the bitter gall from time to time, in order not to forget the shame of the past.

In order to encourage the people, Gou Jian and the queen participated in the labor with the people, and under the concerted efforts of the Yue people, he made the Yue Kingdom strong, and finally found the opportunity to destroy the Wu State.

In the end, with the help of Fan Li, he successfully restored the country and destroyed the state of Wu.

Li Bai Goujian.

Yue Fei grinds needle creek, at the foot of Elephant Ear Mountain in Meizhou.

The world says that Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, when he was studying as a teenager, he studied for a long time without results and planned to give up.

When he crossed the stream, he saw an old woman by the river, grinding a thick iron rod on a stone. Li Bai asked curiously: "Old woman, what are you doing sharpening iron rods?" ”

The old woman said, "I'm going to grind it into a needle for embroidery." ”

Li Bai was surprised and said, "Oops! Even if it is an ordinary iron rod, it is difficult to grind it into such a fine embroidery needle, why did you find an iron rod thick as a duck egg, even if it is a young man like me, grinding for a lifetime may not be able to grind this iron rod into a thin embroidery needle! ”

The old woman said with a smile: "Hahaha, little friend, you don't know, there is only this iron rod in my hand at home, this is still when I was in my prime, I have not used it, left it unpolished, originally intended as a burning stick for kitchen cooking." Moreover, I am not worried that I will waste my years, nor do I have any boring thoughts in the end, as long as I am alive for one day, I will persevere for a day, and grind my iron rod a little finer than yesterday, and finally it will naturally be sharpened into an embroidery needle.

Li Bai was very touched after hearing this, thinking that his own shortcomings can actually be made up for with perseverance and hard work, so that an old man of such an age can have the confidence to do things that seem to have little hope, how can I give up halfway because of a temporary setback, give up the ideals I pursued, so I immediately returned to the college to continue studying.

A year later, Li Bai went down the mountain again and found the old woman, and while thanking himself for her guidance, he also saw that the iron rod was really much thinner.

A few years later, Li Bai finally lived up to his talent and wrote a large number of immortal poems that have been passed down through the ages.
