Yan Hui, Zigong and Luz are all proud students of Confucius, but they are not around him at this time. In this chapter, Confucius sighed deeply, revealing his deep feelings with his disciples.

Confucius was trapped in Cai Chen, which is a famous story in history. At that time, his situation was very difficult, but the students he led were not scattered. They closely surrounded Confucius and United as one. This article is a sigh of Confucius in his later years. I miss his former students very much. It can be seen that the ancient teacher-student relationship is better than the father-son relationship.
