What are some examples of being too poor to move?

Examples of poverty that cannot be escaped are:

1, Tao Yuanming

In order to survive, Tao Yuanming first became a small official in the state, but because he didn't like the bad style of officialdom, he quickly resigned and went home. Later, in order to make a living, he also worked in some low-ranking official positions one after another and lived an anonymous life.

Tao Yuanming was an official for the last time in the first year of Yixi (405). That year, Tao Yuanming, who had passed the "year of no doubt" (4 1 year old), was persuaded by his friends to serve as Pengze county magistrate again. On one occasion, the county sent Du You to understand the situation.

Someone told Tao Yuanming that those people were sent from above, so they should dress neatly and greet them respectfully. Hearing this, Tao Yuanming sighed: "I don't want to be humble enough to pay attention to these guys for the five salaries of a small county magistrate."

Say that finish, just quit his official position and went home. Tao Yuanming became Pengze county magistrate, but it was only more than eighty days. He left his job this time and left the officialdom forever. After that, he took part in agricultural labor while studying as a writer.

Later, due to the continuous disaster of farmland, the house was burned down and the family situation deteriorated. But he didn't want to be an official anymore, and even the rice and meat sent by Jiangzhou Secretariat were rejected. The court once called him a writer, but he refused.

Tao Yuanming died of poverty and illness. He could have lived comfortably, at least with food and clothing, but at the cost of his personality and integrity.

2. Suwu Shepherd

In March of the first year of Tianhan, in order to repay the kindness of Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent corps commander Su Wu, deputy corps commander John Zhang and military attache Chang Hui to the Xiongnu, sent the detained Xiongnu emissary back, and gave rich gifts.

After Su Wu and others arrived in Xiongnu, civil strife broke out in Xiongnu. Su Wu was involved after the incident, and Su Wu didn't want to be humiliated, so he failed to commit suicide. Khan sent Korea to surrender, and urged it to surrender by protecting the law. Su Wu was unmoved. So Su Wu was imprisoned in the underground kiln, deprived of food and forced to submit. Su Wu persisted for several days. The Huns thought he was a god, so they exiled him to a remote and uninhabited place in Beihai to herd sheep.

In the second year of Yuan Dynasty, Hu Yanlang became Khan in Xinli, and the emissary wanted to be friendly with the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty asked the Huns to release Su Wu. In the sixth year of Yuan Dynasty, nine people, including Su Wu, were welcomed back to China by Chinese envoys. Su Wu detained the Huns 19 years, knowing the border nationalities. After returning to China, he was appointed as a typical country, specializing in minority affairs. He was unyielding in the Huns and was regarded by later generations as one of the models of adhering to national integrity.

Qian Xuesen returned to China.

1950 In the middle of September, Qian Xuesen went through the formalities of returning to China. Just two days before he planned to leave Los Angeles, he suddenly received a notice from the US Immigration and Naturalization Service that he was not allowed to return to China! The immigration bureau threatened to leave the country without authorization, and if you were caught, you would be fined or even jailed! A few days later, Qian Xuesen was arrested in the detention center of the US Immigration and Naturalization Service. The "crime" is "participating in a political party that advocates overthrowing the US government by force". In the detention center, Qian Xuesen was imprisoned like a criminal. Qian Xuesen once recalled: "15 days of confinement, I lost 30 pounds."

In the detention center, every night, spies will come in every other hour to wake you up, leaving you in a state of extreme tension. Later, due to Qian Xuesen's protest and the help of American friends, the Immigration Bureau had to release him, but he was still under surveillance. The outrageous obstruction of the American authorities did not lock Qian Xuesen's heart in returning to China. He and his wife Jiang Ying continued to fight in various ways. In those difficult years, Qian Xuesen always set up three light boxes at home so as to leave for home at any time.
