三國時，諸葛亮輔佐劉備打天下，
南征北戰功勞大。
有一次，他到雲南平戰亂，
有個孟獲不服他。
諸葛亮一連七次把他擒，
心未服，又一連七次放了他。
到後來，孟獲才真服諸葛亮，
欽佩孔明本領大。
這說明，對敵人，
要有收有放巧控製，
心服才算製服他。
Seven Times Caught-Seven Times Released
During the reign of the Three Kingdoms（220—265A。D。），Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei fight for political power。They fought their way south and north and achieved great victories。Once Zhuge went to Yunnan to fight against the rebels。The chief of the rebels named Meng Huo wasn't converted。Zhuge Liang caught him seven successive times，and seven successive times Zhuge set him free。
At last Meng Huo was subjected to Zhuge，and he admired Zhuge Liang's capability。This illustrated，to his enemy，that you should be in the position of catching and releasing them freely，and you won't beat him until you win his heart。
