Ancient fable and its implication: supporting the public and raising cranes
In ancient times, there was a man named Zhigong who liked cranes very much. He often loves to go to the places where cranes haunt, and enjoys the crane's every move when eating and walking from a distance. He is simply fascinated. He often thinks: how nice it would be to have cranes for a long time!

Finally, when Zhigong moved to the mao Mountain in shan River, an old friend who knew Zhigong's hobbies sent him a pair of cranes. Zhigong is very happy. He treats cranes like his own children, gives them good food and takes good care of their daily life. When he is happy, Zhigong often holds cranes in his arms and talks to them. The lively and lovely cranes also make Zhigong not lonely at all in his later years. They keep Zhigong company and dance for Zhigong. After a long time, the feelings between Zhigong and cranes are getting deeper and deeper.

Time flies, and the feathers of the crane grow up quickly. Every day, they flap their wings and want to fly to distant places where they belong. Zhigong was really reluctant to leave the crane, so he hesitated again and again, and cut the crane's wings short with scissors.

Now the crane really can't fly. They always flap their wings for a while, then look back, then lower their heads in frustration and walk around listlessly. Crane is no longer dancing like before. It has no vitality, no life, and even its eyes are dim day by day.

Zhigong sees all this in his eyes and hurts in his heart. He regretted it very much and told himself, "Since the cranes have the ambition to go straight to the sky and see the wider sky, how can I keep them in front of me for my own viewing?"

From then on, Zhigong raised two cranes more carefully, so that their wings quickly grew together again. So Zhigong took the cranes to the wild, put them on the ground, and reluctantly said to them, "Fly, cranes, and go far away to realize your dreams!" " The crane flapped its wings and flew into the blue sky, singing and circling over the head of Zhigong several times, as if thanking him for his kindness, and then flew freely to the distant horizon.

Although Zhigong could not bear to part with the crane, he understood the crane's ambition and finally let it go. This is the true love for the crane. By the same token, if you really cherish talented people, you should give them room to display their skills and don't confine them to narrow circles.
