Hundred miles minus meter Zhongyou, a native of the Kingdom of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period, was a proud disciple of Confucius. He was very filial to his parents. Because of his poverty, he often picked wild vegetables for food, but he managed to buy rice from hundreds of miles away to support his parents. After the death of his parents, he became a high official, sitting on a stacked brocade mattress and eating a sumptuous feast, and he often missed his parents and sighed: "Even if I want to eat wild vegetables and carry rice for my parents, where can I have another chance?" Filial piety and kinship are overflowing. [Original text ] |
