Information: I once received a thank-you letter from a friend I helped. There are five lottery tickets in the envelope, which have been scraped open to reveal the numbers.

Become a giant among dwarfs

Ji Shao was the assistant of Emperor Hui Jin of Jin Dynasty. He was handsome and talented.

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Shao, who was an attendant of Emperor Jinhui. He is handsome and talented.

Once, when his country was invaded, he asked Emperor Hui Jin to defend the country, but unfortunately, they lost the war. Most soldiers died or deserted, but Ji Shao stayed with the emperor to protect him.

Once, someone invaded the capital. Ji Shao followed Huidi to settle the rebellion. Unexpectedly, the battle was defeated, and the accompanying officials, generals and guards suffered numerous casualties, and many people escaped. Only Ji Shao protected Hui Di and never left.

Seeing this scene, people were moved. They said, "Ji Shao stands among a flock of sheep like a camel, outstanding and superior."

Seeing the scene of Ji Shao bravely killing the enemy, people were very moved and said in succession: "Ji Shao is like a standout, with outstanding appearance and extraordinary bearing."

Cultural connection

The idiom "stand out from the crowd" can describe both "a person stands out from the crowd because of his height" and "a person stands out from the crowd because of his outstanding appearance or talent, or his outstanding behavior". The corresponding expression in English can be "protruding like a camel in a flock of sheep", which means "standing like a camel in a flock".

Let's look at an example:

Because everyone else is waiting in line, I don't want a camel standing among a flock of sheep, so I decided to line up, too.

Because everyone else was waiting in line, I didn't want to stand out from the crowd, so I decided to line up, too.
