Chronicles of the Wei Kingdom: When a Naughty Boy Meets a Stubborn Old Man

Cold Moon Frost 0916

The bamboo slips of "Zuo Zhuan" glowed dimly under the dim oil lamp. When the unknown historian carved the four words "Wei Ren Li Jin" on the bamboo slips with a knife and pen, he might not have thought that more than two thousand years later, this story of "cheating one's father" and "killing one's relatives" that happened in the Wei Kingdom would become a negative teaching material for family education and an eternal puzzle of human choices. He used the "Spring and Autumn Writing Method" to hide the praise and criticism between the lines, like a key, opening the door to the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period, and also leaving us with enlightenment that is still deafening after thousands of years. Human nature is never a black-and-white multiple-choice question, but a complex calculation of finding the optimal solution in a moral dilemma. Shi Que's "killing relatives for justice" is not to encourage father and son to kill each other, but to warn people: when personal emotions conflict with national interests, someone always needs to make sacrifices. This sacrifice may be cruel, but it protects the peace of more people; this choice may be painful, but it demonstrates the brilliance of human nature. Just like the cypress tree he planted with his own hands, he used his own withering to bring vitality to the entire forest.
