good way to go

After the fall of Tianjing, Li Xiucheng, the king of Zhong, led the young king to escape from the capital of Nanjing, passing by Dongshan and walking towards the direction of Hu Shu. The peasants around Dongshan were afraid of being chased by the Qing soldiers, so they pushed out more than thirty young men to block the road at Dongshan. There was a man named Huang Jinhai, who said to them, "How can we stop the Qing soldiers by our thirty or so men? Let's make some straw men and put them on both sides of the Dongshan Road. Everyone listened and said yes. More than thirty people went to the villages around Dongshan and arranged for each family to tie three straw men and give them to Golden Sea. The Golden Sea also asked people to Taiping army left clothes, wrapped in the straw man. In the evening, a straw man with three steps and a flag with five steps were put up on both sides of the road. Some fake barracks were also set up, which was quite a good way to go.

The next day, at dawn, the Qing soldiers really followed. More than thirty boys hid themselves among the straw men and the flags. Gold sea conductor a dance flag, a hard gongs and drums. The Qing soldiers did not know what to do and did not dare to move forward. A Qing soldier climbed on top of the tomb and looked at it for a while. Then he ran back and knelt before a royal Lord and said, "My Lord, there are many Taiping soldiers in front of us......." "How many are there?" asked the king. Who is it?" The Qing soldier said, "It is Li Xiucheng's! At least a thousand." When the king heard this, he was startled and sighed and said, "Li Xiucheng, Li Xiucheng, you are using an ambush. I will not be fooled by you." With a turn of face, he shouted: "Withdraw and enter the city!" There was a hubbub of retreat. When the Golden Sea saw the Qing soldiers retreating, he laughed loudly: "The Qing soldiers dare not fight the heavenly soldiers." Everyone went back to the village with a happy face.

On the third day, spies of the Qing army came to the city. When they ran to the Eastern Hill, they found all the grass men standing on the roadside. They jumped three zhangs in anger and shouted, "My king says that he is not fooled by Li Xiucheng! Damn it, fallen for it again."

Many years ago, there was an old blind man and a young blind man wandering around. They make a living by singing for others on their erhu.

The little blind man said, Master, when will you take me to cure the eye disease? I don't want to be blind all my life.

The old blind man said, my master said, as long as you break one thousand strings, you can open the lid of the erhu, there is a secret recipe for curing eye diseases.

The little blind man gasped and said, A thousand strings? How many years will that take? Can't you open the lid now?

No, said the old blind man, no! It won't work.

The little blind man followed the old blind man to continue to drift, the little blind man pulled the erhu more and more listening, whether "flat Lake Autumn moon", or "Happy Goat", curling out under his delicate fingers, always want to win the applause of the house.

The blind man vowed to break a thousand strings.

After many years, the little blind man finally broke a thousand strings. By this time, the old blind man was dead, and the little blind man was old blind.

The old blind man wavered to open the lid of the Erhu Qin, there was a piece of paper inside.

The old blind man showed this note to everyone he met, but everyone told him without exception that it was just a blank note.

The old blind man tore the note to pieces and his own heart to pieces. He loitered dazed in the street, muttering to himself, "Master, why did you deceive me?"

The old blind man thought for a long time. He finally realized that the master was to motivate him to play well so that he would not starve to death.

Later, the old blind man took a young blind man with him. They continued to pull the erhu.

The little blind man said, Master, when will you take me to cure the eye disease? I don't want to be blind all my life.

The old blind man said, my master said, as long as you break one thousand strings, you can open the lid of the erhu, there is a secret recipe for curing eye diseases.

The little blind man gasped and said, A thousand strings? How many years will that take? Can't you open the lid now?

No, said the old blind man, no! It won't work.

Life is like this, have a goal, you will feel all the hard work is worth it. And when you lose your purpose, you lose your faith in life.
