     In ancient China, the State of Wu made an attack on the State of Yue. The king of Wu was badly hurt

and soon died. His son Fu Chai became the new king. Fu was very sad and angry and he decided to fight

back for his father's death. He trained his army strictly until it was very strong. Three years later, he led his

army against the State of Yue and caught its king Gou Jian, who was taken to the State of Wu.

     Gou Jian was put into a small black stone house which was full of terrible smell and was made to raise

(饲养) horses. Gou worked hard and tried to keep himself quiet, but he never forgot his pain. Many years

later, he was set free. Gou secretly trained his army after he went back to his own state. In order to make

himself strong-minded he slept on firewood and ate a gall bladder before having dinner and going to bed

every night. After a few years, his country became strong once more. Then Gou took hold of a golden

chance to fight against Wu and won the war in the end.

     If one voluntarily (自愿) works very hard and voluntarily stands up to pains and difficulties in order to

succeed, we might call him a "Gou Jian", and his story, a "Gou Jian's story".
