The historical story of "waiting for your pillow";

Zu Ti and Liu Kun from the Western Jin Dynasty were cheerful and brave people with lofty ideals. When I was young, I not only wrote well, but also enjoyed practicing martial arts and keeping fit, determined to serve my country. At that time, the rulers still ruled the central plains on the surface, but in fact they were already at home and abroad. When Zu Ti and Liu Kun talk about the domestic situation, they are always generous and often talk about it late at night.

One day, Zu Ti and Liu Kun were very excited. Liu Kun didn't know when he fell asleep, but Zu Ti was immersed in the excitement of the conversation and couldn't sleep for a long time. "Oh, oh, oh-"The rooster crowed in the wasteland, and Zu Ti jumped up and kicked Liu Kun: "Listen, how excited the rooster crowed! Get up and practice sword! "

So, the two men picked up their swords and confronted each other on the high slope. Since then, when they hear the first call every morning, they must come to the wasteland to practice their swords.

Liu Kun was deeply moved by Zu Ti's patriotic enthusiasm and determined to devote himself to the motherland. Once he wrote in a letter to his family: "When the country is in danger, I often' sit on my pillow and wait for dawn' (sleep with weapons on my pillow), practice martial arts and strengthen my body, and make up my mind to serve the country. I often worry about falling behind Zu Ti and don't want him to get up in front of me! "
