Please tell me the story of Mr. Dongguo

The story comes from the book "Dongtian Biography" written by Ma Zhongxi in the Ming Dynasty of China in the 13th century. The story goes that there was a scholar, Mr. Dongguo, who was very pedantic in his studies. One day, Mr. Dongguo drove a donkey and carried a bag of books to a place called "Zhongshan Kingdom" to seek an official position. Suddenly, a wounded wolf rushed in front of him and begged: "Sir, I am being chased by a hunter. The hunter shot me with an arrow and almost killed me. Please hide me." In your pocket, I will repay you well in the future." Mr. Dongguo certainly knew that wolves were harmful to people, but when he saw the injured wolf, he thought about it and said, "I will offend the hunter by doing this. . However, since you begged me, I will definitely find a way to save you." As he said that, Mr. Dong Guo made the wolf curl up its limbs, and then tied it with a rope to make its body as small as possible so that it could fit inside. Put it in your book pocket.

After a while, the hunter caught up and found that the wolf was missing. He asked Mr. Dongguo: "Did you see a wolf? Where did it go?" Mr. Dongguo said: "I didn't see the wolf. There are many forks here, and the wolf may have escaped on other roads." The hunter believed Mr. Dongguo's words and chased him in another direction. After the wolf heard the sound of the hunter's horse riding in the book bag and went away, he begged Mr. Dongguo: "Please, sir, let me out and let me escape." The kind-hearted Mr. Dongguo couldn't stand the wolf's rhetoric, so he The wolf was unleashed. Unexpectedly, the wolf howled and said to Mr. Dongguo: "Since you have done a good deed and saved my life, sir, now I am very hungry. Please do a good deed again and let me eat you." After saying that, the wolf bared its teeth and claws. Pounced on Mr. Dong Guo.

Mr. Dongguo fought with the wolf with his bare hands and kept shouting "ungratefulness" to the wolf. At this moment, a farmer passed by carrying a hoe. Mr. Dongguo hurriedly grabbed him and told him how he saved the wolf. The wolf was ungrateful and wanted to hurt him, and asked the farmer to comment. But the wolf flatly denied that Mr. Dongguo had saved its life. The old farmer thought for a while and said, "I don't believe what you are saying. This pocket is so small, how can it possibly hold a big wolf? Please pack it again and let me see with my own eyes." The wolf agreed, and it Lying on the ground, curled up in a ball, Mr. Dongguo tied it up with a rope again and put it in his pocket. The old farmer immediately tied his pocket tightly and said to Mr. Dong Guo: "This kind of hurtful beast will never change its nature. You are so stupid to talk about kindness to the wolf." After that, he picked up the hoe and beat the wolf to death. .

Mr. Dongguo suddenly realized that he was very grateful to the farmers for saving his life in time. Now, "Mr. Dongguo" and "Zhongshan Wolf" have become fixed words in Chinese. "Mr. Dongguo" refers specifically to those who do not distinguish right from wrong and show excessive compassion, while "Zhongshan Wolf" refers to those who are ungrateful and repay kindness with enmity.
