Feeling for My Neighbor Translation

To feel sorry for the neighbor means to feel sorry for the neighbor. The translation is as follows:

There was a man in the village suffering from foot sores. The pain was unbearable and he said to his family: "You are here for me." Drill a hole in the wall." After the hole was drilled, he put his feet into the hole and reached about a foot into the neighbor's house. The family said: "What do you mean by doing this?" He replied: "Let it go to the neighbor's house and let it hurt. It's none of my business."

There is also a doctor who claims to be good at surgery. A deputy general came back from the battlefield and was hit by an arrow. The arrow penetrated into the flesh and asked him to go and cure him. The doctor took Bingzhou scissors and cut off the arrow's handle, then knelt down and said goodbye. The lieutenant general said: "The arrow is in the skin and requires emergency treatment." The doctor said: "This is what a physician should do, and I should not be asked to do it as well."

Alas, the foot was inserted into the neighbor's house. But it’s still my own foot; the arrow is in the flesh, so that’s what the doctor should do. Just being separated by a wall makes me feel that the pain in my feet has been pushed aside; separated by a layer of skin and flesh, I feel like I have to separate them as medical and surgical.

In this way, how can the pain stop and how can the responsibility be shied away? The adults in charge of things today, seeing that things are not easy to do, stick to the old ways, remain content with reality, and wait for others to do it. (This) is the same as blaming the neighbor for foot pain and blaming the responsibility on the internal medicine department.

Original text:

A person with foot sores in his house is in unbearable pain. He says to his family, "You can dig a hole in the wall for me." When the hole is made, stretch your foot into the hole. Enter the neighbor's house within a few feet. The family member asked: "What does this mean?" The answer was: "Let him go to the neighbor's house and have nothing to do with me."

There is also a doctor who is said to be good at surgery. Inside, the envoy was appointed to rule, and he took Bingzhou scissors to cut off the arrow tube, knelt down and asked for thanks. General Pi said: "The arrowhead is in the membrane and requires urgent treatment." The doctor said: "I should not be blamed for this internal medicine matter." However, it is also a matter of being a doctor. Even if we are separated by a wall, we often think about it, and we are separated by a membrane, and we often want to divide the departments. However, we can only accept the pain, and can we shirk the blame? Today, all the gentlemen who are concerned see that something cannot be done, but just follow the rules and keep calm, so they are sent here. It is also like feeling sorry for the neighbors and passing the blame to the internal medicine department.

Philosophical implication of the article

Analysis and synthesis are unified scientific thinking methods. We must pay attention to both in-depth analysis under the guidance of synthesis and synthesis based on analysis. Only by comprehensively examining the internal connections between the various elements and integrating these elements into a whole can we draw correct conclusions and propose effective plans. It is never possible to solve the problem by cutting the wall and removing the pain, because he fell into the misunderstanding of only analysis without synthesis.
