Original
Long call person, that is, substitute call;
When people are not there, they will come.

Translation

allusion
During the Song Dynasty, there was a famous scholar named Yan Shiqi.His family is well-off, and he is philanthropic by nature. He often does some good deeds and donates to the village.

Zhang Mai, Yan Shiqi's fellow villager, lives in a very poor family and lives very hard. He often eats the last meal and thinks about the next one.This year was a famine year, and the crops were not harvested. It was really a leaky house and it was raining continuously. The plight can be imagined.Even if they have children, they are unable to support them.

After Yan Shiqi knew about it, he went to the door in person and gave them clothes and food, which moved Zhang Mai's family deeply.

Yan Shiqi has been helping his friends for 20 years, never getting bored, and when the two old people in Zhang Mai's family passed away, Yan Shiqi held a funeral for them according to the etiquette.This kind of spirit is rare in the world and commendable.
