[2026 江苏盐城质检]In the Warring States Period, there were many shining names in the river of the history. Lian Po and Lin Xiangru were among them. Both of them were generals of the State of Zhao. They both contributed a lot to their country. Lian Po was good at fighting against enemies in the war while Lin Xiangru was strong in providing wise suggestions for the king.
One day, Lin Xiangru took a lot of trouble to get a piece of valuable jade (玉) back for the king. Then the king highly praised him. Lian Po felt unhappy and said, “I’ll make Lin Xiangru feel ashamed and foolish the next time I meet him.” Lin Xiangru heard of this from others. In order not to cause trouble, he tried his best to avoid meeting Lian Po. Because Lin Xiangru put the benefit (利益) of the country first, he thought that any trouble between him and Lian Po would be used by the enemy of their country. So he kept silent.
Later when Lian Po realized his mistake, he was so ashamed that he went to Lin Xiangru’s home carrying brambles on his back and asked for punishment. Lin Xiangru welcomed him warmly and considered him as his best friend.
