To await Fan Ju Losing the original South Korean fief Runan King Zhaoxiang of Qin said to Fan Ju, "Isn't Xian Qing very sad after she lost her fief in Runan?" Fan Ju replied, "I'm not sad." King Zhaoxiang of Qin said, "Why not?" Fan Ju said, "There is a name of Liang State Dongmen Wu Although his son died, he did not feel sad, so his housekeeper asked him, 'Master, you love your son very much, which is rare in the world. Now, unfortunately, his son has died, why not feel sad?' East Gate Wu replied, 'I didn't have a son at the beginning. I wasn't sad when I didn't have a son; Now that my son is dead, it is equivalent to restoring the original state without him. Why am I sad? ' I was just a civilian at the beginning, and I was not worried when I was a civilian. Now losing the fiefdom of Runan is equivalent to restoring my original civilian identity. Why should I be so sad? " [20]
