The next day, a luxurious carriage arrived at the door of Fleming's house, and an elegant gentleman stepped out of the carriage. Seeing Fleming, the gentleman said: "I am the father of the child you rescued yesterday. I came here today to express my gratitude to you." Fleming replied: "I cannot accept payment for rescuing your child." ."

While the two were talking, Fleming's son came back from outside. The gentleman asked: "Is he your son?" The farmer replied proudly: "Yes." The gentleman said: "We make an agreement. I will take your son away and let him receive the best education. If If this child is as sincere as you, he will definitely become a person you are proud of in the future." Fleming agreed to sign the agreement. A few years later, his son graduated from Santa Maria Medical College, invented the antibacterial drug penicillin, and became the world-famous Sir Fleming Alexander.

One year, the gentleman's son, which child was rescued from the ditch by Fleming, contracted pneumonia. Who brought him back from the brink of death? It's penicillin. Who is that elegant man? He is the old Churchill, a member of the British House of Lords before World War II. Who is the gentleman's son? He was Churchill, the famous British Prime Minister during World War II.

Benjamin. Franklin once said that what a man sows, he will reap. If we treat others sincerely, others will treat us sincerely. It was because of his sincerity that Fleming gave his son the opportunity to grow up. Old Churchill also saved his son's life because of his sincerity and made him a politician who influenced the course of human history in the 20th century.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban incident broke out and the world was in chaos. Cao Cao took control of the court, Sun Quan supported Soochow, and Liu Bei, the shepherd of the Han clan in Yuzhou, listened to Xu Shu (Yuzhou during the Three Kingdoms period) Changshe, a famous counselor) and Sima Hui (a native of Yangzhai, Yuzhou during the Three Kingdoms period, also a famous counselor) said that Zhuge Liang was very knowledgeable and talented, so they went to Longzhong (now Hubei Province) with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with gifts. Xiangyang County) Wollongong went to ask Zhuge Liang to come out and help him work for the country. It happened that Zhuge Liang went out that day, and Liu Bei had to turn back disappointed.

Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the heavy snowstorm to invite him for the second time. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang went out for a leisurely trip again. Zhang Fei was unwilling to come back, but when he saw that Zhuge Liang was not at home, he urged him to go back. Liu Bei had no choice but to leave a letter expressing his admiration for Zhuge Liang and asking him to come out to help him save the country's dangerous situation.

After some time, Liu Bei went on a vegetarian diet for three days and prepared to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may have a false name but may not have real talent and learning, so there is no need to go. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, insisted that he call him alone. If he didn't come, he would be tied up with a rope. Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and visited Zhuge Liang for the third time. By then, Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei did not dare to disturb him. He stood there until Zhuge Liang woke up and then sat down to talk to each other.

When Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was determined to do things for the country and sincerely asked for his help, he came out to help Liu Bei establish the Shuhan Dynasty.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" refers to Liu Bei's three personal invitations to Zhuge Liang as "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage".

The idiom "visiting the thatched cottage three times" comes from this, which is a metaphor for visiting talents and seeking talents, and sincerely inviting others.
