I finished reading the novel "The Romance of the Gods" today, and I have a lot of emotions.

"The Romance of the Gods" is about the last monarch of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou, who was extravagant, cruel and cruel. Under the instigation of the vixen Daji, he sang and danced day and night, lost his mind, killed loyal people, abandoned the government, civil strife broke out, and the people were in dire straits. Jiang Ziya obeyed the will of God and assisted King Wu of Zhou to defeat King Zhou, eliminate the Shang Dynasty and establish the Western Zhou Dynasty with the help of the gods.

Mencius said: "Those who obey Heaven will survive, and those who go against Heaven will perish." This Heaven is God's will, which is the will of the people. King Zhou's many evil deeds were heinous. He broke bones to test marrow, performed caesarean section and performed fetal tests, and other cruel acts spread throughout Chaoge City and outside. Officials were disheartened and people were divided. King Zhou lost the hearts of the people, and the people hated him. The whole country denounced it, hoping that the army of King Zhou Wu assisted by Jiang Ziya would capture Chaoge as soon as possible, kill the faint king, and rescue them. "If you gain the right, you will get many help, but if you lose the right, you will get few." King Zhou, the cowardly king, burned himself in the Zhaixing Tower when the army was pressing down on him and he was desperate. The founding of the Shang Dynasty was passed down for ten generations, and was finally destroyed in the hands of King Zhou. The Zhou Dynasty learned from the lessons of the Shang Dynasty, complied with God's will, implemented etiquette and benevolent government, and was supported by the people.

Mencius said it well, "The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people." Compliance with the people's hearts and minds is the magic weapon for the dynasties to be passed down for a long time. The voice of the people and the interests of the people are the fundamental interests of a country. Throughout history, any government that complies with the people's will and public opinion usually leads to political and political coordination, economic development, and national prosperity. The opposite is true. Reading history gives people a clear lesson. Although "The Romance of the Gods" is a mythological novel, it is not divorced from the social background and human history of the time, and still inspires people to think. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. This has always been the case throughout the ages. The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the times are constantly developing. More than two thousand years have passed, and mankind has moved from the era of autocratic and cruel monarchs to the present day of democratic civilization. Obedience to the people's hearts and minds is still the purpose of governing the country. It is the basis for formulating various national laws and regulations. This is how we govern a country, and by analogy, it should be even more so when we govern enterprises, companies, and schools. Respect human rights, respect personality, humane management, and build a harmonious society... This is the voice of the current people and the inevitable trend of history.

Mencius’ philosophical saying: “Those who enjoy the happiness of the people will also enjoy their happiness; those who worry about the people’s worries will also have the people worry about their worries.” will never be forgotten.
