Liu Guozong

People often tell this little story: During the American War of Independence, once, US President George Washington went to the army incognito to learn the situation, saw a mighty-looking officer, directing soldiers to transport timber

timber.

Huásheng was very angry, just ordering others to do work, why are you just standing there? So Huáshèngdùn walked up to that mighty-looking person and said, 'Why aren't you going to transport the timber?'

Huásheng was very angry, just ordering others to do work, why are you just standing there? So Huáshèngdùn walked up to that mighty-looking person and said, 'Why aren't you going to transport the timber?' That mighty-looking person said, 'I am the commander.' Huáshèngdùn, upon hearing this, both expressed humility to that commander and took off his upper garment to carry timber together with the soldiers, when the timber transport was finished, Huáshèngdùn said to that mighty-looking commander, 'In the situation where there are not enough soldiers, even the commander-in-chief can help carry timber with the soldiers.'

Who would have thought the president could help transport timber with ordinary soldiers?

What a humble person this is!

In the Bible there is the story of Jesus washing the disciples' feet.

At the time of the last supper, Jesus heard the disciples begin to argue about who would become prime minister in the future, he felt very sad and said to them, 'Do not be like the Gentiles, who lord it over others and demand service; instead, be humble and serve others.' After Jesus finished saying this, he stood up, quietly took off his robe, took a towel and tied it around his waist, then poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet. The disciples looked on, very shocked, and felt ashamed, thinking: 'He is our most respected teacher; he not only speaks with authority, he is capable in action, he is the most noble person in the world; how could we let him wash our feet?' Jesus saw through the disciples' thoughts, as he was to the disciples

After washing their feet, he said to the disciples: 'Not bad, I am originally your teacher, I am your Lord, now I wash your feet, you also ought to learn to wash each other's feet.'

Washing each other's feet is mutual respect, mutual love, mutual care.

Mutual respect, mutual love, mutual care—is this not also a virtue of being human?
