The original sentence: "or:' What if good for evil?' Confucius said, "How can I repay you? "Accuse directly, repay virtue with good" —— Constitutional issues of the Analects of Confucius

A student asked Confucius, "If someone hits me, I will feel him with morality and upbringing, okay?" ? Confucius said, if you repay evil with good, then "how can you repay evil with good?" When others treat you with kindness, you need to repay kindness with kindness. But since someone hit you, you should "sue directly". It can be seen that Confucius is opposed to "returning good for evil", and the reason for this phenomenon may be taken out of context.
