During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a little boy whose name was Kong Rong. He was said to be the descendant of Confucius. Some day, a celebration was held to celebrate his grandfather’s birthday. Her mother saw there was a plate of pears on the table. Thus, she asked Kong Rong to distribute the pears. Kong Rong distributed the bigger pears to his elder brothers and left the smallest one to himself. His father was curious and asked him why he did it. Kong Rong said “There are tall and short trees, and old and young people. The young people should respect those who are older than them. ”His father was happy after listening to Kong Rong’s words. Kong Rong’s story has been included in Chinese pupil’s books, aiming at teaching young kids to “respect the older people”. However, the young pupils have different answers when their teacher ask “Would you give the bigger pear to your brothers if you were Kong Rong?”. A little pupil said “He wouldn’t” and then the teacher said that he was wrong. Was he wrong?
