During the Three Kingdoms period, Dai Lu held a high position and was famous, but he was able to listen to criticism with an open mind. His friend Hou Xu is a loyal, honest and frank person who often criticizes Lv Dai's shortcomings without mercy. Lv Dai's subordinates were dissatisfied with Hou Xu, thinking that Hou Xu was too arrogant and told Lv Dai about it. But Lv Dai respects and approaches Hou Xu more. After Hou Xu died, Lv Dai burst into tears and complained, "Hou Xu! Where will I hear my mistakes in the future? "

Write down the mistakes in my life.

Zhou Enlai, who was respected by the world, was modest, prudent and approachable all his life. Although I am busy with my work, I have to go deep into the masses to understand the situation everywhere. In the 1960s, he visited Shanghai and met with film actors. During the cordial conversation, a comrade enthusiastically suggested to him: "Premier, write us a book!" " But he signed it back and said, "If I write a book, I will write out the mistakes in my life so that the living can learn from the mistakes of the past."

Mei Lanfang is a master.

Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, not only has profound attainments in Peking Opera art, but also is a master of Danqing. He worshiped the famous painter Qi Baishi as a teacher, humbly asked for advice, always held a ceremony of accepting disciples, and often polished ink and rice paper for the old man of Baishi. He is not proud of being a famous actor.

Once, Qi Baishi and Mei Lanfang went to visit a family together. Old man Baishi arrived first. He was wearing cloth and shoes. Other guests and friends are celebrities or suits or dresses and jackets. Qi Baishi looks a little shabby and ugly. Soon, Mei Lanfang arrived, and the host was very happy to see him. All the other guests ran to shake hands with him. But Mei Lanfang knew that Qi Baishi was coming to the party, so she looked around for a teacher. Suddenly, he came. He let go of other people's outstretched hands, squeezed through the crowd, and respectfully greeted the painter with a "teacher". Everyone present was surprised, and Qi Baishi was deeply moved. A few days later, he gave Mei Lanfang a "good picture in the snow" and wrote a poem:

I remember that the former dynasty enjoyed peace, and the cloth was noble and clean, which moved the officials.

Now I am reduced to Chang 'an. Fortunately, Milan knows my name.

Mei Lanfang not only worships painters as teachers, but also ordinary people as teachers. He once heard an elderly audience say "bad" when he was performing the Beijing opera "Killing Green". Mei Lanfang took the old man home by car before she could undress and change clothes. He respectfully said to the old man, "The person who calls me bad is my teacher. If Mr. Wang says I'm not good, I must have a good impression. Please give us your advice. " Mei Lanfang suddenly realized and thanked her again and again. Later, Mei Lanfang often asked the old man to watch his acting, asked him to correct me and called him "teacher".
