芥川日本语

This time, miss liu, a teacher of Chinese as a foreign language at WUXI mandarinedu introduced to the foreign students the idiom story of consoleoneself with false hopes:

One summer, Cao Cao led the troops to fight against Zhang xiu. The weather was extremely hot, and the sun was like a fire. there was no cloud in the sky. The troops were walking along the winding mountain path, with dense trees on both sides and rocks burning with the sun, which made people breathless. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked and the speed of marching slowed down. Several weak soldiers fainted on the roadside.

Cao cao saw that the speed of the march was getting slower and slower. But how could tens of thousands of troops speed up when they could not even drink water? He immediately called the guide and whispered to him, "is there a water source near here?" The guide shook his head and said, "the spring water is on the other side of the valley, which is a long way to make a detour." Cao cao meditated for a moment and said, "no, time is not enough." He looked at the trees in front of him and thought for a moment. Then he said to the guide, "don't say anything,I will come up with a solution. He knew that it would be useless to order his troops to speed up at the moment.he quickly rushed to the front of the troops , pointing his whip to the front, he said, "soldiers, I know there is a big forest of plums ahead, where plums are big and delicious, hurry up and bypass the hill to Merlin!" When the soldiers heard this, they seemed to have eaten it, and their spirits were so great that the pace could not be accelerated.

Cao cao successfully overcame the difficulty of thirst by taking advantage of people's conditional reflex to the sour taste of plums. It can be seen that people in the face of difficulties, do not blindly fear, should always use the desire for success to motivate themselves, will have enough courage to overcome difficulties, reach the other side of success.
