all one's life
Lu Ji was born in a famous family, and his grandfather Lu Xun was a famous soldier in the Three Kingdoms. He was once the prime minister of Dongwu, and his father Lu Kang was once the Fu of Dongwu, leading troops to crusade against yang hu of Wei. When his father died, Lu Ji 14 years old, and his younger brother were divided into father soldiers and served as tooth guards. After Wu died at the age of 20, Lu Ji and his younger brother retired to their hometown and studied hard behind closed doors for ten years. In the tenth year of Jin Taikang (AD 289), Lu Ji and Lu Yun came to Luoyang, the capital, to visit Zhang Hua, a famous scholar in Taichang at that time. Zhang Hua attached great importance to the two of them and said, "You beat Wu and won the second place." This made Er Lu famous. Sometimes there is a saying that "two land passengers enter Los Angeles with three tickets to reduce the price" ("three tickets" refers to Zhang Zai, Zhang,).
