6. Tan Sitong. He did not run away when he could, but chose to sacrifice his life for righteousness, preparing to use his blood to awaken the sleeping people of the country. It truly is "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood"! Some people say that he is ignorant, but in fact, Tan Sitong's death has a long-lasting and far-reaching impact on future generations. As he said himself, he died well-deserved! This is also a righteousness, not the righteousness of ordinary people, and it is more worthy of people's respect and admiration!

7. Wen Tianxiang sang in "Song of Righteousness": "It is time to see the poor festivals, and we can draw pictures one by one. In Qi Taishi bamboo slips, in Jin Dong Hu's pen. In Qin, Zhang Liangzhui, in Han Su Wujie." It's the head of General Yan, it's the blood of Ji's servant, it's the tongue of Yan Changshan, it's the leader of the Qing Dynasty, it's the hero of the ghosts and gods, it's the hero who swallows Hu Jie. The thief's head is broken. It is so majestic and fierce that it will last forever.

Wen Tianxiang, the national hero who fought against the Yuan Dynasty in the late Song Dynasty, wrote his last words before he was killed by the Yuan army: "Confucius said to become benevolent, Mencius said to obtain righteousness, but the righteousness is exhausted, so it is the most benevolent. What can you learn from reading the books of sages? , Now and from now on, I am no longer ashamed." What Wen Tianxiang said is: Confucius said that we must "become benevolent" and Mencius said that we must "achieve righteousness". Only when our behavior fully meets the requirements of "righteousness" can we achieve the state of "benevolence". We study the works of saints and wise men to learn something from them. From now on, I have nothing to be ashamed of. This shows his outlook on life of sacrificing his life for righteousness and considering death as home, and using practical actions to practice his ambition and integrity of "no one has ever died in life since ancient times, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history."

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang organized forces to resolutely resist foreign invasion. After he failed and was arrested, he remained unwavering in the face of coercion and inducement from the Yuan Dynasty. He regarded death as home and was eventually killed. This noble national integrity and dedication to justice His spirit is always worthy of learning by future generations.

8. Qu Yuan watched the great rivers and mountains of Chu being swallowed up little by little, and watched the group of treacherous villains flattering the king of Chu for their own glory, without caring about the country. How embarrassing is this? He was never willing to join the others, and finally threw himself into the Miluo River in despair. I understand Qu Yuan at this time. He left the world he had loved passionately with his infinite attachment to the Chu State and his infinite love for the people of the Chu State. He knew that it would be better to die vigorously than to live a humble life! Yes, Qu Yuan's body disappeared with the surging river, but his awe-inspiring righteousness will always inspire generations of Chinese people.

9. After Su Wu was detained by the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu nobles first lured Su Wu with fame and fortune, and then threatened him with severe punishment. But Su Wu was always upright and would rather die than surrender. The Xiongnu nobles had nothing to do, so they "moved to the uninhabited place on the North Sea of ??Wu". Su Wu "digs up wild rats, removes the grass and eats them". In such a difficult environment, he still relied on the banner of the Han Dynasty and refused to surrender. He was in his prime when he went on the mission, and by the time he returned to the Han Dynasty, his beard and hair were all white. He became a famous figure in the history of our country who upheld national integrity.

10. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao "hijacked the emperor to order the princes" and was regarded as a national thief. A famous Luoyang doctor named Ji Ping, who was loyal to the Han Dynasty, collaborated with his uncle Dong Cheng and others to plot to kill Cao Cao. He planned to poison Cao Cao when delivering medicine, but accidentally revealed the secret. Cao Cao ordered his men to beat Ji Ping severely, forcing him to recruit someone to instruct him. Ji Ping was bleeding all over the steps, but he still scolded the traitor Cao, and then bumped into the steps and died. In Luo Guanzhong's writings, he is a famous loyal minister.
