1. Engels and Marx
Marx was a rich man ideologically, but a severely poor man economically. This great economist had a thorough study of capitalist economy. , himself impoverished, spent almost all his life in poverty.
Without Engels’ long-term selfless economic assistance, Marx would not have been able to lead the international proletarian movement and concentrate on theoretical creation. From the letter to Engels on February 27, 1852, we see the plight of this world-famous theorist.
Marx wrote: "For a week, I have reached a very painful point: because my coat has been pawned in a pawn shop, I can no longer go out, because I am not allowed to buy on credit, I can no longer eat meat." Soon again Write a letter to Engels.
"My wife is sick, Xiao Yanni is sick, and Lin Heng suffers from a kind of neurological fever. I couldn't hire a doctor in the past and I won't be able to hire one in the future because I don't have the money to buy medicine. Eight to ten days Since then, the family has been eating bread and potatoes.
Whether they can get these is still a question. "Hunger, poverty and chores troubled Marx, and he was angry and irritable, unable to concentrate his energy and wisdom. Theoretical creation. ?
Engels regarded Marx’s dilemma as his own. He wrote in a letter to Marx: "I will send you 5 pounds in early February, and you can receive this amount every month from now on.
Even if I will be in debt in the new accounting year because of this, It doesn't matter if you are in debt. Of course, just because I promised to send you 5 pounds a month, you should not stop writing to me asking for money when you are in trouble, because I will do it whenever possible."
< p>At this time, Engels was just an ordinary clerk in the Ermen-Engels Company. The income is also very low. He later became the assistant manager of the company, and his monthly salary was increased. From 1860 onwards, support for Marx increased to 10 pounds per month.Also often provide some "additional" funding. From 1851 to 1869, General Marx received a remittance of 3,121 pounds from Engels. For Engels at that time, this was a huge help.
After Marx's death, Engels took on the role of sorting out the manuscripts and edited and published the second and third volumes of "Das Kapital", completing the unfinished work of his comrades. It can be seen that common ideals and life goals are the basis for establishing friendship.
2. The friendship between Guan and Bao
Bao Shuya sent Xi Peng to the state of Lu to take over Zhong. When he heard that Duke Zhuang of Lu wanted to kill Guan Zhong, he panicked and hurried to attack Lu Zhuang.

You Do you still want me to reuse him?" Bao Shuya said: "At that time, everyone was his own master! When Guan Zhong shot you, he only had Young Master Jiu in mind. Besides, if you really want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, you don't have a large number of wise men. People can't do it."
Qi Huangong said: "I have already thought about it. Among my ministers, you are the most loyal and capable. I want to ask you to be my minister and help me. Make the country rich and the army strong." Bao Shuya said: "I am far worse than Guan Zhong. I am just a cautious and law-abiding minister.
Guan Zhong is the one who can govern the country and seek hegemony! If you take advantage of him, he will succeed. I will shoot all over the world for you, but I only hit one belt hook!" When Duke Huan of Qi saw that Bao Shuya admired Guan Zhong so much, he said, "Then bring him to see me tomorrow."
Bao Shuya smiled! Liao laughed and said, "If you want to get useful talents, you must treat them with respect and courtesy. How can you summon them casually?"

After the Mianchi Meeting, Lin Xiangru was named Shangqing due to his great contributions, ranking above Lian Po. Lian Po said: "I am a general of the State of Zhao, and I have made great achievements in sieges and field battles, while Lin Xiangru only made some achievements through his eloquence.
But his status is higher than mine, and besides, Xiangru originally He is a despicable person, I feel ashamed, and I can't stand being under him." He also threatened, "When I meet Xiangru, I will definitely humiliate him." After hearing this, Lin Xiangru refused to meet him.

So Xiangru’s disciples came together to express their admonishment and said: "The reason why we left our relatives to serve you is because we admire your noble integrity. Now you have the same official position as Lian Po, and General Lian is He said something bad, but you are afraid to avoid him.
You are too afraid. Even mediocre people are ashamed, let alone those who are generals and ministers! Let's say goodbye!" Lin Xiangru firmly persuaded them to stay and said, "Who do you think is more powerful than General Lian?"
He replied, "General Lian is not as good as King Qin." With the power of the King of Qin, I dare to scold him in court and humiliate his ministers. Although I am incompetent, will I be afraid of General Lian? But I think that Qin is strong, so I dare not use troops against Zhao.
It is because of the two of us that the two tigers are fighting against each other, and the two countries cannot survive. The reason why I am tolerant is to put the country's emergencies in the front, and put my personal grievances behind. "When Lian Po heard these words, he took off his shirt.
With his upper body exposed and a thorn stick on his back, he was led by the guests to Lin Xiangru's door to apologize.
