Talk about ungrateful people.

The dignity and courage of food that others call for charity cannot be affected. Even if they endure hunger, they won't beg from others. (such people) can't see the support of others, refuse the support of others, and (can only) look up to the contempt of others.

This refers to a gentleman's unyielding will, but it is also an "arrogant" behavior that only insists on oneself and ignores others. It should refer to the "stupidity" of a man who makes his own living.
