=====================================
When Le Yi explained why he died in "Letter to Yan Hui Wang", he said: "A good writer is not necessarily good, and a good beginning is not necessarily a good ending."
It means that people who are good at creating are not necessarily good at finishing, and people who have a good beginning may not have a good ending.
This is not only an explanation, but also a philosophical motto.
Many times, people have a "left" or "right" choice. If all goes well, when there is a good beginning, it is inevitable that human nature will pursue a perfect ending. But the problem is that when their seemingly reasonable pursuit is not understood by those who can control themselves, contradictions arise. Especially when you think that what you are pursuing is for those people, do you stick to it like Wu Zixu, or do you prefer to interrupt some pursuits to gain new personal development space like Le Yi who seems to avoid it? Perhaps from the point of view of sticking to the truth, Wu Zixu is right, but from the point of view of perfection, Le Yi should be wiser.
In fact, in the contemporary mainstream consciousness, "good beginning and good ending" is not only a realm of life, but also a social pursuit. As big as a society and as small as a life, few people don't take "good beginning and good end" as the benchmark. People enlarge and fix it into a life form between conscious and unconscious. For example, in those traditional plays, in many popular film and television dramas, in the minds of many audiences, when too many people watch those artistic characters and plots, they may not be able to get rid of a complex, that is, there should be a "happy reunion." In fact, whether it is a screenwriter, director or audience, this kind of complex may come from this thing called "good beginning and good end".
Of course, this is not a mistake.
But do things really need to be like this? Le Yi said: No need!
Obviously, from the perspective of thinking, Le Yi's thinking at this time is the other way around.
Le Yi's reverse thinking is completely consistent with his reverse action of abandoning Yan for Zhao. Le Yi thinks that he is just a "good writer" or a "good starter". He created the situation of conquering Qi, and made a good start in his life through this creation, but Le Yi thought it was enough. Judging from the situation at that time, if Le Yi returned to Yan, Yan might not really do harm, but it was impossible for the two sides to establish a harmonious relationship. In the long run, what will be the outcome of waiting for them? Kill or be killed or be left out or be left out? Neither of these is what Le Yi wants. Therefore, Le Yi took French leave to avoid everything.
The worst result of Le Yi's push to return to Yan is well-founded. He mentioned Wu Zixu.
In fact, did Le Yi think of more than one Wu Zixu? Too many people in history have a good beginning and no good ending.
By leaving, the possible conflict with Yan was avoided, which was not good for Yan Dou.
From the later situation, both sides accepted the reality rationally. Yan continued to be kind to his family and still named his son Le Jian Chang. Le Yi shuttled between the two countries and acted as a mediator between Zhao and Yan.
They maintain a gentleman's attitude of "never making ugly noises when making friends".
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. Times are like this, and so are interpersonal relationships.
More than 30 years later, Le Yi's son Le Jian left Yan almost like Le Yi because he opposed the crisis that Yan was defeated by Zhao in the battle of Changping.
Perhaps, when the music room left Yan to find Zhao, my famous words still echoed in my ears.
