Disciples

Chapter 59

Original
Fear of fame and fear, joy of hearing;
Straightforward people, gradually blind date.

Translation
If you feel uneasy when you hear others say good things about you, and you are happy when you hear others point out your shortcomings, then honest friends will be willing to make friends with you and get close to you.

allusion
Zhou Libo is a famous modern writer.Although he is successful and famous, he can be neither arrogant nor impetuous, humble and eager to learn.

In 1956, Comrade Libo went deep into the lives of farmers and wrote some works.After the manuscript was written and delivered to the reporter, he said: "After you have read it, you must take it to Comrade Chen Qingliang and ask him to revise it." Chen Qingliang is the secretary of the local township party committee.The young secretary of the township party committee did not dare to accept this task.The reporter had no choice but to go to Comrade Libo again, and Zhou Libo said seriously: "I sincerely asked him to change it, because he is familiar with the situation and he is the secretary of the township party committee, so he will definitely be able to change it! "

In order to live up to Comrade Zhou Libo's expectations, Chen Qingliang really changed one part of the original text.There is a sentence in the original text, "This year's bumper harvest is just like making a turtle in a jar-it's a sure thing." Chen Qingliang changed the word "to do" in this sentence to "catch".Comrade Libo was very happy after reading it, and said to Comrade Qingliang excitedly: "I still said that I can't change it. Isn't this my 'teacher with one word'. Wouldn't it be a joke to 'make' a turtle?"

Zhou Libo's modest attitude became widely known and appreciated by people.
