He was particularly wise, helping King Goujian of Yue to avenge his humiliation, and even retired with success. He understands the principle of "when the birds are gone, a good bow is hidden". This kind of courage and wisdom to retreat bravely from the rapids is really admirable. The stories in this book not only allow us to understand ancient business wisdom, but also bring enlightenment to our lives. I recommend you check it out too!
