Chinese Traditional Story: Helping Others is Helping Yourself

In the tenth year of the Yongle reign of the Ming Dynasty, a family of three lived in Liugou Village: a scholar named Wang Yaozu, his wife, and their seven-year-old son. Wang Yaozu's family had been wealthy in his childhood, so he always had an opportunity to study. However, his family later fell into poverty, and his parents passed away one after another. By the time he got married, his family was struggling financially, often going hungry.
