The story of Han Xin's humiliation.

Han Xin, Huaiyin Hou, Huaiyin people. When he was a common people, he was poor and had bad conduct. He could not be elected as an official and could not make a living by doing business. He often lives in other people's homes for leisure, and most people hate him. Go to the countryside for idle meals many times. For several months, Tingchang's wife disliked him, made breakfast in advance and took it to the back room bed. At dinner, Han Xin went, but didn't prepare meals for him. Han Xin also understand their intentions. In a rage, he left and never came back.

Han Xin is fishing at the gate, and some old ladies are washing silk cotton. One of them saw that Han Xin was hungry, so he took out a meal for Han Xin. Dozens of days, until the washing is completed. Han Xin was very happy and said to the old lady, "I must repay the old man heavily." Aunt said angrily, "A gentleman can't support himself. I only gave you food out of sympathy for your son. Are you going to repay me? "

A young man among the butchers in Huaiyin insulted Han Xin and said, "Although you are tall and like to carry a knife and a gun, you are actually a coward." He insulted him in public and said, "if you are not afraid of death, stab me with your sword;" If you are afraid of death, climb under my crotch. " So Han Xin looked at him carefully, bent down, prone on the ground, and climbed down from his legs. People all over the street laughed at Han Xin and thought he was timid.

Han Xin returned to Huaiyin (later the King of Chu), ... summoned the young man who insulted himself and let himself pass through his crotch, and made him the lieutenant of Chu. Han Xin said to the civilian military commander, "This man is a strong man. Why didn't I kill him when he insulted me before? Because you can't be famous if you kill him, you have to bear the burden of humiliation. This is you today. "
