The meaning of Zheng people buying shoes

You must be flexible and adaptable when dealing with things. You must not stick to rules or stick to dogma. You must pay attention to objective facts and deal with people based on reality. This Zhengguo man only believed in the size obtained by measuring his feet instead of his own feet. Not only did he make a big joke, but he couldn't even buy shoes and became the butt of the joke.

Some people talk, do things, and think about problems only from books, not from reality. He believes what is written in books, but does not believe what is not written in books but actually exists. In the eyes of such people, only what is written in books is the truth, and what is not written is not the truth. In this way, thoughts will of course become rigid and actions will easily hit a wall.
