Chapter 1: Laughter at Fifty Steps and Laughing at Hundred Steps

King Hui of Liang said: "I have devoted myself to governing the country. When there was a famine in Hexi, I relocated the victims. I went to the east of the river and transported the grain to the west of the river. When there was a famine in the east of the river, I also dealt with it in the same way. But the people of the neighboring countries did not decrease, and my subjects did not increase. Why?" Mencius replied: " Your Majesty likes to fight, please let me use the metaphor of war. The war drums were beating, and the two sides were already fighting. Some of the combatants abandoned their armor and dragged their weapons backwards. Some ran a hundred steps to stop, and some ran away. Stop at fifty paces. What if those who run fifty paces laugh at those who run one hundred paces?" King Hui of Liang said: "No, those who ran fifty paces just didn't run one. It's just a hundred steps, but it's just an escape."

Mencius said: "Since the king understands this principle, he should not hope that his subjects will be more numerous than those of his neighbors."

Part 2: After reading Fifty Steps, Laughing at a Hundred Steps

I recently read an article called "Fifty Steps, Laughing at a Hundred Steps". After reading it, I benefited a lot and it was thought-provoking.

Recently, there was a plague in Hanoi, so I moved the people to Hedong and provided food Shipped into Hanoi. Similar things have happened in Hedong, and I still follow the instructions. Recently, I have observed that the monarchs of neighboring countries have not been so dedicated to state affairs, and the population has not decreased. However, the population of our country has not increased. This is. What's the reason?"

What would happen if someone who ran fifty paces mocked a man who ran a hundred paces? What to do?" King Hui of Liang said, "No, just running fifty steps is also running away." Mencius said, "Since your Majesty knows this, don't expect that your country will have more people than its neighbors. King Hui suddenly became enlightened after hearing this.

Mencius used the story of Laughter at Fifty Steps to warn King Hui. In life, we often hear words like "He is not as good as me". Have you ever thought that this is a sign of irresponsibility? Often when we are not as good as others in something, we always like to compare ourselves with those who are inferior to ourselves, and we shirk all responsibility. This kind of complacency.

They will compare themselves with those who are worse than themselves. In the end, they will become worse and worse and fall into the abyss.

People who have made the same mistakes laugh at others when they actually have their own mistakes, but they are just lighter than others. Only by having the courage to climb and compete with the strong can we continue to improve ourselves, strengthen ourselves, and become ourselves. The Strong

King Hui of Liang said: "No! Those who ran fifty steps are the same as those who ran a hundred steps. They are defeated and fled.
