   "The Neighboring Family's Play": Three Stories Reflecting Ourselves. Have you ever encountered someone like this? He could have easily followed the crowd and reaped the benefits, but instead, he insisted on setting the strictest rules, turning himself into a universally reviled "villain." He said, "Management isn't a perk, it's a form of self-cultivation." He could have simply recorded a conclusion and gotten it over with, but instead, he insisted on writing down everyone's words, even those voices too quiet to be heard. He said, "What I'm recording is history, and also a mirror for the future." He could have learned to write those fiery, powerful phrases to impress the magistrate, but instead, he chose to write plain, everyday language. He said, "A petition isn't a play, it's the truth." These three people come from the same book—"The Neighboring Family's Play." The first story is called "The Clan Property Rotating Manager." The clan's property was managed by different branches of the family in rotation. When it was their turn, it was a perk; when they finished, they reaped their rewards and left. Year after year, things got worse, and in three years, everything was gone. Someone stepped forward and said: Want to manage? Learn for a year first. After completing the training and scoring above 90, only those qualified to manage affairs were eligible. Once in charge, there were annual assessments; those who failed were replaced. The clan was in an uproar. Some said he was bullying, some said he was seizing power, some said he was crazy. He didn't explain; he simply went to the fields every day, kept accounts, taught, and assessed. One year, two years, three years. Three years later, the clan's assets were revived. Those who had initially criticized him later became capable individuals. They said, "Cultivation is hard, but what is cultivated is humanity. Welfare is sweet, but what is nurtured by welfare is worms." The second story is called "The Clerk of the Ancestral Hall Meeting." At clan meetings, he sat in a corner, pen in hand, constantly taking notes. He recorded everyone's words, everyone's reasons for opposition, and those opinions so quiet they were almost inaudible. Once, regarding bridge construction, most people supported one approach, except for one person who opposed it. That person had a quiet voice, was unknown, and no one listened to him. The bridge was completed, but collapsed within a month. He checked the records and found that every word the opponent had said had come true. From that day on, at every meeting, he would first read aloud the previous minutes, especially the opinions of the minority. Some said he was annoying, others said he was wasting time. Later, those who were annoyed by him said, "If it weren't for him remembering, how many times would we have suffered?" The third story is called "The County Magistrate's Petition Writer." An old woman came to write a petition. Her land had been seized by a wealthy landowner; she had farmed it for forty years, paid taxes for forty years, and had forty years' worth of grain in her possession. He wrote truthfully, plainly, like a diary. The petition was submitted, the county magistrate glanced at it, thought "nothing special," and put it down. Two months later, the old woman died. When she died, she was clutching the land deed. He went to the county magistrate's office and, in court, recited every word the old woman had said—which year was drought, which year was flood, which year had a good harvest, which year she paid double the taxes. He recited it for half an hour. The county magistrate was dumbfounded. Everyone in the courtroom was dumbfounded. The case was reopened, and the truth came to light. But the old woman could not see it. Someone asked him: "What's the point of writing those honest complaints if nobody reads them?" He replied: "The truth is reliable. The truth can withstand investigation, questioning, and even forty years." Why watch *The Neighboring Family*? Because these three stories aren't about ancient times, they're about today. Have you ever seen people who treat public affairs as private welfare? Have you ever seen organizations that only listen to the loudest voices in meetings, ignoring those who speak softly? Have you ever seen people who win through emotional appeals and rise to power with harsh words? You have. We've all seen them. *The Neighboring Family* places these events within an ancient clan, using the simplest stories to convey the most fundamental truths. It doesn't preach grand theories. It only talks about people. It talks about those who are stubborn, those who don't listen to advice, those who speak softly, and those who have good memories. It shows you that a good system can turn lazy people into capable people. A bad system can turn capable people into lazy people. It shows you that respect for minority opinions is an organization's most important safety valve. It's closed, but it'll explode sooner or later. It shows you: the truth is always the strongest trump card. Emotional appeals may win you temporarily, but only the truth can win you forever. It doesn't tell you the answers. It only lets you see, and then you figure it out yourself. Three stories, three questions. After reading "The Rotating Manager of Clan Property," you can ask yourself: Is my organization cultivating people or consuming them? Is it training people or providing them with welfare? After reading "The Ancestral Hall Meeting Secretary," you can ask yourself: When I attend meetings, do I only listen to what I want to hear, or do I also listen to what I don't want to hear? Do I only record the conclusions, or do I also record the process? After reading "The County Government Petition Scribe," you can ask yourself: Of the information I see every day, which is the truth, and which is emotional appeal? Am I easily moved by "harsh words," or am I someone who is willing to wait for the truth? These questions have no standard answers. But asking is always better than not asking. "The Neighboring Show" can't give you the answers. But it can let you see. See how others stumble, and see how they get back up. See what happened to those who were stubborn and inflexible. See what happened to those who were quiet and reserved. Once you see it, you'll know which path to take. Open the first page of *The Neighbor's Play*, a book you can keep by your bedside and flip through anytime. Each story is short, but each one will make you think for a long time. It doesn't preach grand principles; it only tells the stories of ordinary people. These ordinary people do the most ordinary things: managing family property, recording meetings, writing petitions. But it is in these ordinary things that the deepest truths are hidden. You can read one during your lunch break, one before bed, or one while waiting for someone. After you finish reading, close the book and think. Think about the things around you. Think about yourself. Perhaps you will find that those stories from over a hundred years ago are being replayed around you. Perhaps you will find that the stubborn Zhou Shi, the person with the good memory Bo Qing, and the person Bo An who was scolded, are all around you. Perhaps you will find that you yourself are one of them. Turn the first page. Step into the ancestral hall called "Chengde Hall," sit under those old locust trees, and listen to the stories of those people. They will tell you: Management is not about welfare, it's about self-cultivation. Record keeping is not just for show, it's a mirror. Petitions are not just plays, they are facts. They will tell you: The truth will eventually be seen. The facts will eventually be believed. Turn to the first page. See what happened to those who were so stubborn.
