Repay your love and friendship Chinese literature, for example, ancient poetry, traditional Chinese sayings and stories, reveals many different types of people's good personalities. According to a famous ancient Chinese philosopher, Confucius (¿××Ó), men are born to be kind (ÈËÖ®³õ©o ÐÔ±¾ÉÆ). Everyone has their own qualities and sometimes they are just hidden and need to be explored and discovered. In traditional China, people had a strong sense of repayment (ˆó´ð). People who do not have this ability to repay those who helped them before are usually looked down upon. The feeling of repayment is perhaps the product of a good friendship or love. And the limit of love here, in this case, is not only about love between couples, but also about all different types of love, for example love between family members. So repayment is actually linked to the theme of filial piety. People's dedication and respect towards their parents or elders is actually a form of repayment. In the story, “Courtesan Li Wa”, Li Wa is surely very respectful towards her “mother” although she is not her real mother who gives birth to Li Wa. While Li Wa and the young man are resting at Li Wa's aunt's house, she receives a message that her mother is ill, in very serious pain and cannot even recognize the people in the house. Li Wa, without a doubt, decides to immediately return to his mother without even thinking about the young man. Although I have to say that I personally doubt that this is in fact an appropriate and appropriate way to handle this situation, Li Wa has certainly shown her respect and devotion to her so-called "mother". A little later in the story, the young man fails to find Li Wa and his aunt. He wandered everywhere and at one point almost died due to illness. He ends up being employed by morgues to sing. One day, the young man's father is there and an old servant recognizes the young man. His father takes him out, strips him naked, whips him several hundred times with a whip and leaves him for dead. The young man does not end up in death because the young man's music teacher sends someone to watch over him. At this point in the story, the young man's relationship with his father is already broken and the young man's father even thinks that his son is beaten to death by himself... middle of paper. .... Kuo is going to visit them. Here, at this point in the story, Kuo is repaying Wu for everything he did to save himself back when Kuo was captured by the barbarians. He brought the bones of Wu and his wife back to their homeland with their son Wu T¡¯ien-yu and on the road he one day said: “Yung-ku (Wu Pao-an” style name) worked for ten years for me. Carrying his bones for a little while is the smallest thing I can do to show my gratitude. ¡± After their arrival, Kuo shows his respect for Wu as if Wu is his father and is doing what a son would do when his father dies and ¡°Every detail of the burial arrangements is the same as when he buried his father. ¡± Kuo treats his benefactor as if he were his father. Here he reveals that true friendship is linked to filial piety. Kuo also offers Wu T¡¯ien-yu his own position as further repayment to his "father". The story “Wu Pao-an Ransoms His Friend” reveals the connection between friendship, repayment and filial piety. Between people endowed with a great quality of humanity, there is a true friendship which acts as a bond. And this deposit gives rise to reimbursement when there are favors to be repaid. A form of reimbursement is subsidiary.
