须影吟者🕊️

Fan Li did not know, he saw it. This sentence is thought-provoking and reveals the complex relationship between human nature and power. When someone is in a low valley, their attitude towards you is based on emotions; when someone is at the peak, their attitude towards you is based on character. But what happens when someone goes from the low valley to the peak? That's politics. Fan Li saw through not King Goujian's character, but the nature of power. After his defeat, King Goujian of Yue once said to Fan Li, 'You and I have shared hardships, but not pleasure.' This sentence shows that although King Goujian appreciated Fan Li's talent, he was unwilling to share power and glory with him. When the birds are gone, the good bows are stored away; when the cunning rabbits are dead, the hunting dogs are cooked. This ancient proverb vividly describes the attitude of those in power towards their subordinates. Once the subordinates lose their usefulness or become a threat to power, they will inevitably be abandoned or eliminated. Fan Li knew this, so he decided to leave King Goujian's side to avoid being hurt in the political struggle. King Goujian is a person with a long neck and a bird's beak, who can share hardships but not pleasure. Why don't you leave? This was Fan Li's response to King Goujian, and also the reason for his departure. As a wise and farsighted strategist, Fan Li knew how to protect himself and survive in the political whirlpool.
