Han Xin who "repay kindness with kindness".

Speaking of Han Xin, people associate many idioms, such as: the humiliation of legs, the success of Xiao He, the failure of Xiao He, the practice of plank road, the darkness of Chen Cang, being besieged on all sides, lying in ambush on all sides, being besieged on all sides and so on. Careful friends will find that Han Xin paid official homage to the general, the Prime Minister Zuo, the King of Qi and the King of Chu all his life, and of course he was finally demoted to Huaiyin Hou. This article doesn't talk about how famous he is, but only two little things before and after Han Xin became famous. I hope everyone can learn some philosophy of being a man.

Words in the streets of Huaiyin county, from time to time can see a man holding a sword and a book, although the family is poor, but self-esteem, ashamed to engage in agricultural labor, eating and drinking everywhere, this person is Han Xin.

In the end, Han Xin was so hungry that he wanted to find a place to eat, but because he ate and drank everywhere at ordinary times, people all over the country were unwilling to help him any more. He couldn't eat if he wanted to live, so he came to the river to catch fish, but he could do nothing with it. After a long time, he didn't see a fish take the bait, only heard endless cooing. Seeing that Han Xin was going to faint from hunger, an old lady who washed clothes came over and handed him some dry food. After eating and drinking enough, Han Xin said to the old lady, "I will repay your kindness one day." Before Han Xin finished thanking her, the old lady said, "As a man, you can't even solve your own food and clothing problem. What else can I say to repay others? What I give you is pity for you. Han Xin smell speech, unknowingly face a red, lower the head.

Before long, Han Xin was walking in the street and met a butcher with five big and three thick. Han Xin wants to go left, so he goes left, Han Xin wants to go right, and he goes right. So there was a stalemate for some time. Han Xin was very helpless and had to bite the bullet and say, "Brave, can you forgive me?"

When the butcher heard this, he couldn't help sneering. He rested on her hips with one hand and pointed at Han Xin with the other. He said disdainfully, "I heard that you are a hero and disdained to associate with us." Although you wear a sword all day and act like a swordsman, you are actually a coward. Xiao Ye is in a good mood today, so I'll give you a chance to prove it. If you are a hero, kill me with that sword on your body, otherwise, hum, you will drill through my crotch. "

At this time, more and more people were watching, and everyone was talking noisily. Some people say that this is an insult, and Han Xin will definitely kill the butcher. Others say that as usual, he is weak, incompetent and thick-skinned, and he will definitely choose the latter.

In everyone's discussion, Han Xin made a balance in his mind: if I kill him, although I can solve my hatred and win the applause of the people who eat melons for a while, they will sue me as soon as they turn their heads, and according to the Qin law, if the murderer fights privately, he will be beheaded; If I submit to humiliation now, who will say that I am a coward and that I am afraid of death? A gentleman can bend and stretch, and die in a proper place. Look at today's posture. If I don't kill him, I won't get through, and I'll be beaten. If I want to succeed in the future, I must first live healthily. In order to make a name for myself in the future and better wash away today's shame, then I will go first! Then, in the laughter and ridicule of the people who ate melons, Han Xin got through.

Ten years later, Han Xin was made king of Chu, returned home with the honor of king, summoned his floating mother, gave birth to a daughter, and fulfilled his promise. Instead of punishing the ugly butcher who was humiliated by his legs, Han Xin gave him an official position according to his ability. From then on, the butcher thanked Han Xin and told everyone how tolerant the King of Chu was and let bygones be bygones, which won many hearts for Han Xin. Later, Han Xin was killed. It is said that this man once avenged him.
