英文故事
The Choice to Surrender
In the midst of a fierce battle, Captain Harris faced a difficult decision. His troops were outnumbered, and victory seemed impossible. The opposing army sent a messenger proposing terms of surrender.
Captain Harris, torn between pride and the safety of his soldiers, chose to surrender. It was a decision that spared many lives and allowed for a peaceful resolution.
The act of surrender, in this case, was not a sign of weakness but a strategic choice for the greater good. It set a precedent for future conflicts, showing that sometimes choosing peace over prolonged conflict is a courageous and wise decision.
