Zhang Yi is a student of Guiguzi . After learning from Guiguzi, he went to lobby the princes, hoping to realize his lofty ideals and achieve his own career.
Zhang Yi first started to lobby Chu State . As a result, the lobbying was unsuccessful and he was framed, saying that he had stolen Chu Prime Minister's jade and became a "thief". He was tied up and beaten severely, and then expelled from the Chu Kingdom.
After Zhang Yi returned to Wei State in disgrace, his wife blamed him: saying that he should not have gone to lobby for such insult.
But he stuck out his tongue and asked his wife if his tongue was still there? The wife smiled and replied: Yes, your tongue is still there. Zhang Yi said: "As long as my tongue is still there, that's enough!"
Later Zhang Yi went to Qin State to lobby. After unremitting efforts and doing his best, he finally gained the trust of King Qin Hui of Qin State and was worshiped. As a guest, I have achieved a career of my own.
Zhang Yi’s bumpy experience has not diminished his confidence and fighting spirit. “The tongue is enough” shows that his lobbying will not stop, his struggle will continue, and his talents can still be displayed. , there is still a successful day. This sentence has become his classic saying.
There will always be difficulties and setbacks of one kind or another on the road of life. Only by maintaining the initial confidence and fighting spirit can we leave the seeds of hope for tomorrow's comeback.
