S9E04 | Be like Kong Rong

This Chinese Saying, or at least the story, is rather well-known. The story of young Kong Rong and the bowl of pears. Kǒng Róng Ràng Lí 孔融让梨. This perennial children's favorite has a nice moral lesson to teach. When you see young children exhibiting generosity and kindness, many might recall these kids were just like Kong Rong back in the late 2nd Century.

Yeah, I always try and stick that in the description. I hope that you don't mind that I use lines from old pop songs and Beatle songs as the show titles. من بسیار سپاسگزارم که شنونده ای از کشور بزرگ شما دارم.
