Can you believe it? Fate is sometimes more bizarre than fiction. No, there is such a thing recorded in "Zeng Guofan", about the wonderful encounter between Zuo Zongtang and his "eight-character brother" Wu Weicai, it makes people laugh so much that their stomachs hurt and they feel a lot of emotion.
It is said that Zuo Zongtang, the big man, and his cousin Wu Weicai, are simply twins of fate, born at the same time on the same day, the same month, and the same year, and they almost jumped out of a mother's womb.
Zuo Zongtang lives on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, and Wu Weicai is a resident on the east bank. The Xiangjiang River is separated by two completely different worlds.
One day, on a whim, Zuo Zongtang invited a fortune teller to check the pulse and see if his future was a Cotai Avenue or a rugged path.
The master pinched his fingers, and his beard flew up quickly: "Hey, these eight characters, it's amazing, it's rich!" ”
When Wu Weicai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he thought: "Let's carve the two of us in one mold, my good days should come!" So I couldn't wait to get up and let the master calculate a hexagram for himself.
The master made another calculation, and touched Wu Weicai's head and hands in a matter-of-fact manner, and finally let out a long sigh: "Although the eight characters are wonderful, the land is unfavorable!" Do you live in Hedong or Hexi? ”
As soon as Wu Weicai said that it was Hedong, the master shook his head and said: "Hedong, that's the life of chopping meat; Hexi, that is to scold Fang Xuan and point out the life of the country. ”
The later story, everyone knows, Zuo Zongtang became a pillar of the country, and he was named a marquis; As for Wu Weicai, he has been with pigs and sheep all his life and has become a well-known butcher.
These eight characters are the same, but because of the separation of a river, the fate is very different, which has to be embarrassing.
Speaking of which, modern people are superstitious and pinching the phenomenon of having children, do you have to reflect on it?
Choose an "auspicious day of the zodiac" to be born, if the hospital is not selected well, is it possible to give birth to a "counter-effect"?
Behind this, there is actually a deeper truth: fate is not calculated, but by oneself.
This joke is laughing and laughing, but the message conveyed is very positive: no matter what the starting point is, no matter how the outside world judges your "life", what really determines the trajectory of your life is your choice, your efforts, and that love for life.
So, don't let some ethereal things shackle you, live your own wonderful life, it's the king!
