1, Lin Xiangru
Lin Xiangru, born and died in an unknown year, is from Xiangru Village, Quyang County, Baoding City. Zhao Shangqing was a famous politician and diplomat of Zhao in the Warring States Period. The most important events in his life were Zhao's innocence, Mianchi meeting and apology.
Lin Xiangru used to be an official of Mr. Scheeren. When Zhao Huiwen was king, King Zhao of Qin wrote to the king of Zhao, wishing to exchange fifteen cities for "harmony". Lin Xiangru was ordered to take "money" to the State of Qin. He argued and responded tactfully, and finally returned to Zhao intact.
In 279 BC, the king of Qin and the king of Zhao met in Mianchi (now Mianchi West, Henan Province). He accompanied Zhao Huiwen, reprimanded the powerful state of Qin face to face, and did not humiliate the country, so that the king of Zhao did not humiliate the country. Because of his merits, he was appointed Shangqing, ranking above Lian Po.
Self-reliant Lian Po refused to accept each other's opinions, felt ashamed and threatened to humiliate each other. Lin Xiangru has always avoided tolerance in order to maintain harmony among the people and prevent foreign enemies from taking advantage of it.
Lin Xiangru's spirit of putting national interests first and humility touched Lian Po, so he personally went to Lin Xiangru's house to offer a humble apology, and the two became awkward friends.
