During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, sent troops to attack the State of Yue, which was defeated and on the verge of national subjugation. In order to preserve his strength and seek a chance to make a comeback, he sent Wen Zi to lobby Zhang Qian for peace. Fu Cha was persuaded, but he wanted Gou Jian and his wife to be his servants in Wu.
Fu Cha let Gou Jian and his wife live in the stone house next to the tomb of the late king, let them look after the grave, feed the horses and serve themselves, and at the same time test whether Gou Jian really submitted to him. Although Gou Jian suffered humiliation and ridicule, he forbeared one by one in order to restore the country. Three years later, Fu Cha thought Gou Jian was really obedient and let him go home.
After returning home, Gou Jian was determined to take revenge. He was afraid that the pleasure in front of him would destroy his will, so he hung a gallbladder in the place where he ate and tried it every time he ate. At the same time, he asked himself, "Have you forgotten Jackie's shame?"
At the same time, he changed his sleeping mat into firewood, made great efforts to work with the people and vigorously developed production. Finally, in 473 AD, Fu Cha was defeated and Wu was destroyed.
