Master0sifu Folktale: Lin Hui discarding the jade

During his abscondence, the overburdenedwise man Lin Hui cast away his invaluable jade passed from his ancestors andchose to advance with his newly born son.

贤人林回在逃亡途中，因不堪重负，扔掉了价值千金的家传玉璧，背着自己刚刚出生的儿子，继续逃难。

 

The others said, "It is not to yourprofit to have discarded the precious jade instead of the child because thechild is heavier and larger than the jade. So why did you do that?" LinHui responded, "The child is my son and to me is more valuable than thejade."

旁人劝说道：“为这刚出生的小孩子放弃千金的玉璧，划算吗?您要是怕累赘，小孩子无论是体积还是重量，都比玉璧大得多。真是不能理解您为什么要这样做?” 林回说：“孩子是我的亲骨肉，相比之下，还是骨肉比玉璧值钱。”
