春秋時期,楚文王垂涎息國國君夫人息媯的天生麗質,派兵滅了息國,霸占了息媯。他們一起生活了好多年,甚至還養了孩子,然而息夫人從來不愿開口跟楚文王說一句話。
在所謂的“強者”面前,弱者的權利被踐踏,被侮辱,被損害,但他們并沒有屈服。雖然他們沒有力量來抗爭,但可以選擇不說話。干百年后,我讀到息夫人的故事,嘆息不已。這位有著傳奇身份的小女子,和楚王一起吃飯,一起睡覺,生下楚王的孩子,這期間該有多少年?一代大國楚王的富貴豪奢、威儀恩惠、眷戀寵愛,竟完全沒能打動她,哪怕只是進入到她的眼里!所謂強者楚王,強在何端?何其失??!而數年決不開口說一句話,這樣的女子,又弱在哪里?
Confronted with the so-called “the mighty”, the rights of the weak can be trampled, insulted and damaged; nevertheless, they do not yield to power. Despite their powerlessness to revolt, they can choose to keep silence. Thousands of years later. I’m still deeply impressed when reading the legend of Mrs. Xi. How many years did this legendary delicate lady accompany Emperor Chu by dining and sleeping with him and even giving birth to his babies? As of Emperor Chu. his wealth and luxury, social status and power, and affection had never touched the Lady, nor even drawn any of her attention. Faced with such a lady, how could the emperor be defined as mighty? What a failure, actually! For years, without even a word, how could such a lady be considered weak?
