Classical Chinese "Dumb dutiful son"

Cui Changsheng, born dumb and filial, is called "dumb dutiful son". Because the dutiful son is mute and his left hand is twisted, the helper raises his parents, and he must ask questions when he comes in and out. After Huai and Xu were hungry, the dutiful son begged in the countryside. People pitied him, left the dross, accepted it, and dug weeds to satisfy his hunger. After returning home, he will help his lame father and sick mother live under Mao's eaves and try his best to respect their parents, who live there. One day, you see that old piece of paper on the road, which contains a legacy. You can't wait. After more than a month, no one wanted it. Pigs feed it easily. Pigs are very sweet and will prepare coffins for their parents. The dutiful son treats people sincerely and trusts them. Parents have died, crying, and the coffin is buried in the wild, but I don't know what the dutiful son did.

Cui Changsheng was born dumb and filial, and everyone in the village praised him as a "dumb dutiful son". Not only was he born dumb, but his left hand was curled up, and he supported his parents by working as a domestic helper. He always greets his parents when he comes back from his trip every day. Later, there was a great famine in Huaixu area. He was begging outside, and others felt sorry for him, so they gave him the leftovers. After he accepted them, he put them in a bamboo basket and dug weeds to eat. After returning home, he helped his disabled father and sick mother to the eaves of a thatched cottage and poured out the food in the bamboo basket to honor their parents. Their survival depended entirely on it. One day, he saw a pile of waste paper on the road, which contained other people's lost things, and did not wait for the owner. A month later, no one was waiting to pick it up, so he used the money to buy a pig to raise. After the pig gave birth, he prepared a coffin for his parents. He treats people sincerely. His parents died one after another, and he cried sadly and buried them in the barren hills with coffins. Later, he didn't know where the dumb dutiful son went.
