士 shi 为 wei 知 zhi 己 ji 者 zhe 死 si A gentleman will die for his confidant
A certain man in ancient China escaped to the mountains to protect himself.
However, a friend was killed by his pursuer.
The first man decided he must go back and avenge his friend's life because - a gentleman will die for his confidant, meaning simply that a man would die for his closest friend.
It has also come to mean that a good worker can be more than willing to do his best for the superior who trusts in him and his abilities.
Is there such a person in your work place? Are you such a person?
