Du Fu was one of the most famous poets in the world. One day, he passed Shihao Village. It was very late. So he went to a poor family to stay for the night. In the middle of the night, there was a sharp knock on the door. Du Fu listened quietly and heard the old man next door run away. And the old woman answered and opened the door.
In the room came some officers. They shouted loudly and asked the old woman, “Where is your man?” The old woman said sadly, “My three children have gone to Yecheng to fight. Just two days ago, one of my sons wrote to me. He said that both of his brothers had lost their lives. There was only a daughter-in-law and a little grandchild. Who else do you want?” The old woman asked the officers to leave. But they still didn’t give up.
In the end, the officers took the old woman away. In the morning, Du Fu left the house. The old man was the only one to see him off. Seeing this sad man with his own eyes, Du Fu felt sad, so he wrote a poem about it, called The Officers at Shihao.
Kuafu Chasing the Sun
Long long ago, there was a giant. His name was Kuafu. He was a strong and brave man.
One year, the weather was very hot. The people were suffering from the sun. Kuafu decided to do something to help. He wanted to take the sun down from the sky and tame it.
The sun moved in the sky, while Kuafu ran after it quickly, like wind on the ground. When he shook off the dust in his shoes, the dust became a hill.
He finally caught up with the sun after nine days and nights. However, the sun was so hot that he felt thirsty. He went to the Yellow River and the Wei River to drink water. But the water from these two rivers was not enough for him to drink. He had to go and look for more water. Kuafu wasn’t able to get there, and he died on the way.
Before his death, Kuafu threw his walking stick away. It fell off and grew into a peach forest. The hard-working people could eat peaches every year. Kuafu’s spirit keeps inspiring the Chinese people.
石壕吏
杜甫是世界上最著名的诗人之一。有一天,他路过石壕村。当时天色已晚。于是,他来到一户贫苦人家借宿。半夜,传来一阵急促的敲门声。杜甫静静地听着,听到隔壁的老人跑了。老妇人应声开门。
几个官兵走进了房间。他们大声喝问老妇人,“你家的男人在哪里?”老妇人悲伤地说:“我的三个孩子都去邺城打仗了。就在两天前,我的一个儿子写信给我。他说他的两个兄弟都牺牲了。只有一个儿媳和一个小孙子。你还想要谁?”老妇人请官兵们离开。但他们仍不罢休。
最后,官兵们把老妇人带走了。早上,杜甫离开了这户人家。只有老人送他。杜甫亲眼看到这个悲惨的老人,心里很难过,于是写了一首诗,叫《石壕吏》。
夸父逐日
很久以前,有一个巨人。他的名字叫夸父。他是一个强壮勇敢的人。
有一年,天气非常炎热。人们被太阳晒得苦不堪言。夸父决定帮忙做点什么。他想把太阳从天上摘下来,驯服它。
太阳在天空中移动,夸父则像风一样在地上快速追赶。当他抖掉鞋上的灰尘时,灰尘变成了一座小山。
历经九天九夜,他终于追上了太阳。可是,太阳太热了,夸父感到口渴。他到黄河和渭河去喝水。但这两条河的水都不够他喝。他不得不去寻找更多的水。夸父没能到达那里,死在了路上。
临死前,夸父扔掉了他的拐杖。拐杖掉在地上,长成了一片桃林。勤劳的人们每年都能吃到桃子。夸父的精神一直激励着中国人民。
