提到王安石这个名字,想必你会觉得很耳熟,他是北宋著名的政治家、思想家,但他还是个很爱冒险的人,一起看看王安石的故事吧!
Five men seemed to walk into a fairyland. As they went further in, the temperature dropped, and their torch nearly stopped burning. Everyone began to feel worried, and they began to walk slowly. At this moment, a nervous young man said, "We should go back out now, or we won't be able to get out. If our torch burns out, we'll all be trapped in this cave." Hearing these words, everyone was alarmed, so they turned around, and went back out of the cave.
However, Wang Anshi was soon filled with regret: The torch clearly could last for much longer. There were many wonders in the cave, but they ran out halfway when they explored it. How boring! But then the following thought came to him, "When I heard that man's call for leaving the cave, I did what the others did without even thinking. It shows that I am a coward too. It was wrong for me to turn back. My own willing is not strong enough. How can I blame others?"
