屈原与夏原吉

Qu Yuan and Xia Yuanji

夏原吉与屈原虽然相去1643年,但他们身上有着许多共同的特点,如忠君爱国、勤政为民、廉洁奉公、疾恶如仇等。他们也有相同的遭遇,如屈原因谏君而遭流放,夏原吉因谏君而被下狱。但两人在逆境中都没有放弃自己的追求。这是中国知识精英的共性,是应该弘扬的。然而,造成两人迥然不同结局的原因,更是值得后人思考并引以为戒。

There are a lot common features between Qu Yuan and Xia Yuanji, who lived from 1643 years each other. They are the person with the same features of patriotic and loyal to throne, diligent service for people, be honest to work and detest evil, and the suffering from exiled（Qu Yuan） and put into prison（Xia Yuanji） by suggestion to throne. But their persistent pursuit in dilemma is the common characteristic of Chinese culture that should be carried forward. Most importantly, the causes from different ending should be reflected and learnt a lesson.
