complete meeting of minds：Brotherhood without blood
Yolanda，a foreign teacher of Wuxi Mandarinedu, gave a detailed introduction to foreign students about the meaning of the similarity of glue and paint in idioms.
During the Han Dynasty,there was a pair of very good friends, one named Lei Yi and the other named Chen Chong,They have a better relationship than their brothers,On one occasion, they both went to the exam together. Lei Yi passed the exam, but Chen Chong failed.Lei Yi thought "Chen Chong's knowledge is better than mine. It's a pity that he didn't pass the exam!" Lei Yi ran to the official in charge of the exam and said, "Excuse me, sir, please transfer my credit to Chen Chong. He is better than me!"The official ignored him : "Nonsense, how can fame be transferred to others at will? Lei Yi was disappointed. "Then I don't want this honor!" Lei Yi pretended to be mad and not to be an official. He was finally relieved of his reputation.A few years later, Lei Yi and Chen Chong went to the exam together again. This time, they both passed the exam and were fortunately assigned to work in the same place. Lei Yi happily said to Chen Chong, "Brother Chen, I'm going to trouble you to take more care of me in the future." Chen Chong said, "Brother Lei, you said and laughed, you are taking care of me!" Two people are very happy to work together, and their relationship has become better. Everyone saw that they were in such a good mood that they all said, "The glue and paint are very strong together, but they are still not as good as the deep friendship between Lei Yi and Chen Zhong." Later, some people turned this into an idiom "paint and glue are the same" to describe the deep friendship between good friends, just like glue and paint together so strong!

Albert Einstein said, "The best thing in the world is to have a few friends who are honest in mind and heart." A close friend is a friend who is closer than his relatives. There are some troubles that we can't tell our family. We can talk to our close friends. Friendship is the mirror of gain and loss. We often see people who are not related by blood and form brotherly friendships. Friends help and carry each other on the basis of sincerity and friendship. A person in society would be in a very bad situation if he had no friends and no help from others. This is true of ordinary people, especially those who have accomplished great things. Without the help of others, nothing can be done
