The Myth behind the Chengyu "百折不挠"
There was once a great administrator name Qiao Xuan (乔玄 qiáo xuán) during Han dynasty. He was a man of character. One day, a group of bandits robbed his house and kidnapped his son. The bandits asked a lot of money in exchange for his son's life. Soon, the officers (policemen at that time) surrounded the bandits, but they dare not attack for they feared the robbers would take the son's life.
At that time, Qiao shouted "Should I let go of these bad guys just because of my son's life?" He then ordered his officers to get the bandits. In the ensuing conflict, his son was killed. However, the people praised Qiao's perseverance and stoic attitude.
The moral behind this story is not to give up even when you face setbacks and difficulties.
