A half-friend
used to have a righteous person who made friends with the world's heroes Takefu. Before he died, he said to his son, "Don't look at me roaming around in the rivers and lakes since I was a child. The people I make are like crucian carp crossing the river. In fact, I have made half a friend in my life." The
son was puzzled. His father explained it close to his ear, and then said to him: "You go to meet a half-friend of mine as I said, and you will naturally understand the essence of a friend.
" friends" there. He said to him, "I am the son of so-and-so. Now I am being hunted down by the imperial court. I am in a hurry to join you, hoping to rescue me!" When the man heard this, he couldn't bear to think, so he hurriedly called his son and ordered him to hurry up. He quickly changed his clothes and put on the body of a "criminal in the imperial court" that he did not know, and let his son wear the clothes of a "criminal in the imperial court".
The son understands: when your life and death are at stake, the person who can show your sincerity and even sacrifice his own flesh and blood to rescue you can be called a friend of yours.
The son went back to what his father called "half a friend" and clasped his fists and begged to say the same thing again. The "half friend" heard this, and said to the "criminal court" who was begging for help in front of him: "Son, I can't save you in such a big event. I'll give you enough trouble here. You run away and run away, I promise not to. I'll report you..."
My son understands: in your time of trouble, the person who can protect your life and avoid harming you can be called half your friend.
in conclusion:
The father's dying admonition not only taught his son, but also taught us a truth about making friends: you can make friends, and you may as well treat your friends with kindness, but you must never ask your friends to give you the same return. Being kind to a friend is a pure joy, and that's always what it means. If you are demanding in return, happiness is greatly reduced, and disappointment also looms. After all, being nice to others and being nice to others are two different things, just as giving and being given are two different things. Your good can only infect or dilute the evil of others, but don't expect to cure it. Of course, occasionally you will meet someone who treats you as kindly as you are, and you should be glad that is your blessing, but never assume it is a common sense.

Continuation of "One and a Half Friend"
says that the son understood what his father said The truth of being a half-friend turned out to be a half-friend.
Many years have passed, and this time he really offended a powerful person who wanted to arrest him and go to prison. Recalling the experience of that year, he first went to his friend's house, and after talking about this, that friend was really righteous, let him hide in his house, and put on his clothes to lure away that powerful man. Soldier, but this friend was unfortunately killed on the way to lead the pursuers.
The chasing soldiers found out that it was not him and came back to catch him. He had no time to grieve and continued to run away. This time he ran to the house of half of his friends.
Similar to the experience of the year, these half friends gave him enough trouble to let him continue to escape, and did not report him. He felt a little disappointed, thinking that this is really half a friend, not worth entrusting life and death. So he continued to run away, but two months later, he accidentally leaked his whereabouts and was caught and thrown into prison. At this time, he was disheartened and felt that there was no hope in this life.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, he was released. At the gate of the prison, he was very surprised to see the half of his friends who came to pick him up. Only later did he find out that in order to save him, the half of his friends had scattered their wealth. He was very grateful, and strangely asked his friend why he didn't hide him in his home and escaped capture. The friend replied that when the situation was urgent, I really couldn't be implicated by you, because I have high court, children, and a wife who is close to each other. I have to be responsible for them, and if we are caught at the same time, we will all enter Hell, who else can save us.
After listening to his friend's words, this person was filled with emotion, and he still treats this person as a true friend in this life.
In fact, in this society, asking yourself to have a supreme and overwhelming position in the hearts of the other party is a luxury in itself, and it is not the way of friends. Using a deceit to verify a friend's feelings may not be correct, and it is also disrespectful to the friend.

When I saw these 2 stories, my head was always a little hazy thoughts, I can't speak. Today, I re-watched a movie "Shut Up You" that I saw in college. It's just a simple comedy that is neither a classic nor a legend. Inexplicably, I burst into tears, when the world became hazy. I suddenly found out what my silly thoughts were. When we read stories, we tend to follow the author's direction to see, think, and understand the author's thoughts, but I always like to look at it from other angles. The author let us see Wu Fu's definition of a friend, and in fact his friend also told us the definition of a friend. In his heart, a person who can give for him is a friend, and in his friend's heart, a person who is willing to give is a friend. Which one is in your heart? Only from Gundam did I realize that the true friend in my heart is what I am willing to do for him.
We are not Montage's Gundam, nor are we the one who can be so stupid and happy, and I don't think anyone wants to be stupid and happy, right? May we all find friends in our own definition.
