Stories of Good Stories
Fan Zhongyan, a famous prime minister in the Song Dynasty, was extremely poor when he was young and had a hard life. He thought that if he could get ahead in the future, he would help the poor. Later, when he became prime minister, he took out his salary to buy a field for the poor and landless.
once I bought a house to live in Suzhou, a geomantic gentleman praised the house. The geomantic omen is excellent, and future generations will be appointed officials. Fan Zhongyan thought, since this house's geomantic omen can make future generations dignitaries, it is better to change it to a school and let the children of Suzhou people enter school. In the future, the children of all people can be virtuous and dignitaries, which is more beneficial than the children of their own family. So I immediately donated my residence and turned it into a school. Practiced the long-cherished wish of caring for the interests of all beings when they were young and poor.
Fan Zhongyan's four sons soon grew up, all of whom were brilliant and had both ability and political integrity. They were officials, prime ministers, ministers and assistant ministers, and the great-grandchildren of the Fan family were all distinguished and distinguished. They have been handed down for 8 years, and the descendants of the Fan family in Suzhou are still prosperous. Fan Zhongyan's merits and demerits are incalculable because he is kind enough to benefit others at the expense of his own interests. However, the blessings returned by God to Fan's children and grandchildren are dozens and hundreds of times what Fan Zhongyan paid at that time. It is because Fan Zhongyan has no self-interest and sown unexpected good seeds. Over the past 8 years, he has continuously blossomed and borne fruit, unintentionally benefiting future generations, becoming a model of doing good and being admired and praised by the world.
Therefore, Fan Zhongyan's good deeds are worth emulating if the world wants to benefit future generations.
