In short, there must be history

I watched the Oscar-winning film "Gladiator", which talked about an old king who wanted to pass on the throne to General Mahmoos during the Roman Empire, but McGee refused to accept it. Seeing that he could not inherit the throne, the prince Commodus moved to kill Nian, murdered Mai's wife and children, and framed Maisimus. Mai became a gladiator, and because of his bravery, he went to the Roman Arena. At this time, Comods, who was already a king, was not interested in government affairs, but liked to fight. In the arena, Maximus and Commodus competed, and finally defeated the enemy and gave his life.

I looked at it, and suddenly felt that the plot seemed familiar, and I remembered something in my heart. Then he said to his father: I remembered that this old king and prince did have their own people in history. The old king's name is Marco Aurelius. You see his line in the play, "People will think I am a philosopher...". He was a philosopher king in history, and he wrote "Meditations". His son, Kang Maude, was a king who loved to fight. He was finally strangled to death by a wrestler.

When my father heard what I said, he looked at me in astonishment and said: Ah, you are so amazing, where did you know this? I smiled triumphantly and said: From that "Hillier's Talk about World History", hehe... It seems that although you know Chinese history well and speaking of Western history, you still can't compare to me! How about it, take it!

Dad said admiringly: Serving, servicing, I am willing to bow down. Xiaozhu, I worship you as a teacher!

I turned out to be my father's teacher. It seems that you can get a lot of knowledge by reading more books and accumulating more.
