A gentleman can bend and stretch. "This is the experience of previous people after success, failure and setbacks. There are countless such sentences. Yes, simply advancing and retreating will only bring us extremely one-sided consequences. Only by clearly understanding the current situation and correctly handling the dialectical relationship between advance and retreat can we better stand on the world. Therefore, those who know the times are heroes.
People who only enter and never retreat are also stupid people. For example, Liu Bei, the monarch of Shu in the Three Kingdoms, became angry because his younger brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei died one after another. He completely ignored Zhuge Liang's advice and the current unfavorable political situation, and was full of anger to avenge his brother. He only thinks that he doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and he doesn't know how to make big plans if he can't bear small sufferings. As a result, he went his own way in exchange for the collapse of hundreds of thousands of troops and eventually died of depression. Therefore, look before you leap. A moment of silence is for a more powerful outbreak in the future, and we can't just advance and not retreat.
People who only flinch are cowards. For example, Empress Dowager Cixi, a woman who has ruined the country and the people through the ages, made peace with Japan at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and compromised again when Ahava fell; From the signing of treaty of shimonoseki to the writing of the Treaty of Sorrow and Ugliness, treasures were destroyed and fled again and again. In this way, the eternal man who once dominated the world was knocked down by the word weakness. Semi-colonial and semi-feudal words are ironic. Because of weakness, because of compromise, because you can only retreat, you have ruined your life, so it is very important to lose your life. However, when the crisis is serious, when they are humiliated.
He who knows the times is a hero. As a well-known allusion, Gou Jian, the King of Yue, is really admirable for his courage and foresight, and his strategy and gentlemanly feelings are praised by later generations. This is because he correctly analyzed the current situation, dealt with the relationship between advance and retreat, and then chose good and followed. Compared with overlord Xiang Yu, he will be impulsive and immature. If he could bear the humiliation for a while, if he didn't commit suicide because he didn't want to completely destroy his reputation and dignity, would he? After all, this is just wishful thinking. What we should do is to encourage ourselves. Therefore, when we encounter something, we must carefully analyze the pros and cons of it and the consequences of doing it. In the long run, we must not rush into it, and we must endure it if it is broken. He who knows the times is a hero and is content with the world.
History has passed, and now it has just begun. If you don't advance, you will retreat. We are heroes if we understand current events correctly.
