Mei Lanfang not only worships painters as teachers, he also worships ordinary people as teachers. He once performed the Peking Opera "Killing Cherish", and he heard an elderly audience say "bad" among many cheers.

Mei Lanfang took the old man home by car before she could unload and change clothes. He respectfully said to the old man, "The person who says that I am not good is my teacher. If the teacher says that I am not good, I must have a good opinion. Please give me advice. The students are determined to make up for it. "

The old man pointed out, "According to the regulations of Liyuan, Yan Xijiao's catwalk for going upstairs and downstairs should be seven steps up and eight steps down. Why is the doctor eight steps up and eight steps down?" Mei Lanfang suddenly realized and repeatedly praised.

3. Bian Que, an imperial doctor

Once, the monarch of Qi wanted to make Bian Que "the best imperial doctor in the world". Bian Que, however, refused, saying that he was not the best in the world, and that his two brothers were better at medicine than him. The king was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, Since your two brothers are above you in medical skills, why are they unknown?

Bian Que replied, "My second brother, Bian Yan, can cure serious diseases from minor ailments, and can diagnose and cure those major diseases in time when only minor symptoms appear. So he is only famous in his hometown village, and the villagers know that they can go to the second brother if they have minor problems. Brother Bian Hong's medical skills are even more superb, and he can prevent diseases before they happen. He can tell what is wrong with this person at a glance, and then treat him in time before he gets sick.

So only the family knows that Big Brother's medical skills are brilliant, and even the villagers don't know his level. Only I, Bian Que, can neither cure a serious illness from a minor ailment, nor prevent it before it happens. By the time I rejuvenated, the patient was terminally ill, so my two unknown brothers were imperial doctors, and I was just a famous doctor all over the world.
