In ancient Ceng Zi, when the son cried to go with him, his wife coaxed the child and said, Stop that now, and we will kill the pig for you when Dad comes back. My son really stopped fooling around. When Ceng Zi came back from the market to sharpen his knife, his wife was surprised. Do you really want to kill pigs? We're just a pig, I'm just fooling the children! Ceng Zi said seriously: What we said can't be broken. We can't teach our children badly. So he really killed the only pig in that family. If Ceng Zi can't control his every move and prevent him from losing his honesty because of his lust for property, he is not an honest man, and his son may become a man of bad faith.

In the movement against the "three evils", Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, notorious corrupt officials, were sentenced to death by the people's trial, and the whole country applauded.

Because I couldn't control myself in the end, I was knocked down by sugar-coated shells! So the chairman said: Don't reach out, you will be caught if you reach out. Don't stretch out your hand, you have to control yourself, and you have to be self-disciplined.

Lincoln famously said, "You can fool all people at some point; You can always cheat some people; But you can never fool everyone all the time. "
