Are there any stories about civilized manners?

First, Lenin made way

Once, Lenin went downstairs, and in the narrow aisle of the stairs, he met a female worker carrying a pot of water upstairs. As soon as the woman worker sees Lenin, she will make way for Lenin and prepare to return by herself. Lenin stopped her and said, "Don't do this. You're halfway with something, and I'm empty-handed. Please go first!"

He said the word "please" loudly and kindly. Then he leaned against the wall and let the female worker go upstairs, and then he went downstairs. Lenin is undoubtedly a great man, but he is not rude because of his noble position, which shows his great quality.

Second, Lincoln who "swallowed his pride"

Once, American President Lincoln and his son Robert drove down the street and met an army passing through the street. Lincoln casually asked a passerby, "What is this?" Lincoln wanted to ask which state's regiment it was, but he didn't make it clear. The man thought he didn't know the army, so he replied rudely, "This is a federal army. You are such a fucking idiot." Lincoln only said "thank you" when he was reprimanded by an ordinary passer-by, and there was no scowl.

Third, the origin of the grievance award

Ke Liping, the conductor of Shanghai Bus No.22, once won a very special award-the grievance award. One day, when a young man bought a ticket, he deliberately spit on a pentagonal banknote and threw it on the floor of the carriage. While other passengers accused the young man, they also quietly watched Ke Liping. I saw that she bent down to pick up the paper money, wiped the phlegm with a napkin, and then politely handed the ticket to the young man.

Ke Liping's behavior was praised by the passengers, and the young man felt ashamed and apologized to Ke Liping. Afterwards, colleagues reported the matter to the team, and the team leader specially awarded the "grievance award" to Ke Liping to encourage the team's ticket sellers.

Fourth, Kong Rong lets pears

When Kong Rong was four years old, he often ate pears with his brother. Every time, Kong Rong always takes the smallest pear. Once, my father saw it and asked, "Why do you always take the small one instead of the big one?" Kong Rong said: "I am the younger brother, and I am the youngest. I should eat the small one, and let the big one be eaten by my brother!" ?

Kong Rong knew the truth of mutual courtesy, mutual help, unity and friendship from an early age, which surprised the whole family. Since then, the story of Kong Rong letting pears spread for thousands of years and became a model of unity and friendship.

V. Ceng Zi's Absence from Seats

"Ceng Zi's Absence from Seats" is a very famous story from The Book of Filial Piety. Ceng Zi was a disciple of Confucius. Once he sat beside Confucius, Confucius asked him, "The former king of sages had supreme virtue, and he needed mysterious theories to teach people all over the world, so that people could live in harmony, and there was no dissatisfaction between the king and his servants. Do you know what they were?"

when Ceng Zi heard this, he understood that the teacher Confucius was trying to show him the deepest truth, so he immediately stood up from the mat where he was sitting and walked outside the mat, and respectfully replied, "I'm not smart enough. How can I know? Please ask the teacher to teach me these truths."

It is a very polite behavior to "avoid the seat" here. When Ceng Zi heard that the teacher was going to teach him, he stood up and went to the mat to ask the teacher for advice, in order to show his respect for the teacher. Ceng Zi's polite story was told by later generations, and many people learned from him.
