During the Three Kingdoms period, Dai Lu had a high status and a prominent reputation, but he could listen to criticism with an open mind. His friend Hou Xu, a loyal, honest and frank person, often criticized Lv Dai's shortcomings mercilessly. 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's death, Lv Dai burst into tears, crying and complaining: "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 he is busy with his work, he still has to go deep into the masses and understand the situation in various places. In the 1960s, he visited Shanghai and met with film actors. In a cordial conversation, a comrade enthusiastically suggested to him: "Premier, please write a book for us!" " But he signed 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 worships the famous painter Qi Baishi and asks for advice modestly. He always holds a disciple ceremony and often grinds ink and rice paper for the old man Baishi. He is not proud of being a famous actor.

On one occasion, Qi Baishi and Mei Lanfang went to visit a family together, and the old man Baishi arrived first. He wears clothes and shoes, and all other guests and friends are celebrities or suits or dresses and jackets. Qi Baishi looks a little shabby and humble. In a short time, Mei Lanfang arrived, and the host greeted him happily, and other guests flocked 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 saw the old man Baishi who was left out in the cold, so he let go of the outstretched hand of others and squeezed out the crowd, respectfully calling the painter "teacher" and greeting him. Everyone present was surprised, and Qi Baishi was deeply moved. A few days later, I gave Mei Lanfang a picture of a timely rescue and wrote a poem:

Remember that the former dynasty enjoyed peace, noble clothes and moved to the public.

Now I am reduced to Chang 'an, thanks to the name Mei Lang.

Mei Lanfang not only worships painters as teachers, but also ordinary people as teachers. He once performed the Peking Opera "Killing Life", and among the cheers, he heard an elderly audience say "bad". Mei Lanfang took the old man home by car before she could unload the goods and change clothes. He respectfully said to the old man, "The person who says I'm not good is my teacher. If the teacher says I'm not good, I must have a good opinion. Please give me advice. Students are determined to make up for it. " The old man pointed out: "Yan Xijiao's catwalk upstairs and downstairs, according to the regulations of the pear garden, should be seven ups and eight downs. Why do doctors go up and down? " Mei Lanfang suddenly realized and praised again and again. In the future, Mei Lanfang often asked the old gentleman to watch him act, asked him to correct me and called him "teacher".
