Chapter 26 Chong Er and Jie Zitui

It’s a bit embarrassing to say it, but I was already in my thirties when I knew there was a character named Chong’er in history. At that time in Japan, Chinese historical novels were already relatively easy to obtain, but about the books about the Spring and Autumn Period in China, I only had "Grandson" written by Kaiyinji Chaogoro.While I was stunned by the publishing situation at that time, I also had doubts in my heart. Although even a master like Kaionji Chaogoro was keen to write books on Chinese history, most Japanese still seemed not to have much interest in Chinese history.I personally fell in love with the stories of the Spring and Autumn Period from the very beginning of my contact with Chinese history, and I was particularly interested in Chong’er’s life. The publishing industry sighs that they don't like the status quo of Chinese historical novels, but I am still actively collecting materials in this area.

In fact, I like Chong'er not only because of his magnificent life, but also because of his retainers who can throw their heads and blood for their master, and follow Chong'er to wander in the Central Plains.These people have distinct likes and dislikes, and each has its own characteristics. Among them, Xianzhen and Jie Zitui are my favorite. When Chong'er returned to his hometown and ascended the throne of the monarch, Jie Zitui, who had made great contributions to him, had to leave Chong'er's side silently (being demoted and exiled), which can be seen in his sad and sad mood.Whenever I read this, I can't help but feel a dull pain in my heart. In my opinion, no matter how talented a monarch is, it is a pity to miss a sage like Jie Zitui.I have a good impression of Chong'er. Although he exiled Jie Zitui to a remote place at first, he later realized his mistake and took the initiative to correct it. How touching is this kind of generosity. !Can't such a master-servant relationship be called a model?If it is written as a novel, at least half of the Japanese people should be moved!It was precisely because I was moved by this story that I began to write the novel "Chong Er".I sincerely hope that when you read this novel, you don't have to think about anything, just notice how your own life journey is different from other people's life journey.

Chong Er is a great person who dares to admit and face up when he realizes his mistakes.This story also tells us that if a person wants to succeed, he must not only rely on his own intelligence, but also must get the help of everyone.
