臥薪嚐膽，激發了他的鬥志；
復仇雪恥，磨滅了他的人性，
也成了史上麻木不仁的暴君﹗

春秋戰國時代，各路諸侯各據一方，而吳王夫差率領雄兵攻伐越國，結果越敗吳勝。戰敗後，越王勾踐、王后及范蠡入吳國為奴。為了取得夫差的憐憫和同情，范蠡獻計，讓勾踐為夫差嚐糞問疾，此舉徹底感化了夫差，因而釋放了勾踐。

回國後，勾踐為了激勵鬥志，每天醒來，必定會到破屋嚐一口奇苦無比的苦膽，藉此提醒自己曾在吳國所受過的屈辱。另一方面，他更勸范蠡忍痛割愛，把傾國傾城的情人 - 西施，送到夫差身邊，以滅低夫差對越國的警惕。

勾踐苦心勵志，終創下了以弱勝強，以卵擊石的人間神話。他那不屈不朽的精神、發憤圖強的故事，傳誦至今，仍為人津津樂道。與此同時，二十年的“臥薪嚐膽”也徹底磨滅了他的人性，使他成為一個冷血的暴君﹗
