Who’s the Insane One?
Feng Shi from Qin State had a son who was a sweet and smart child. As he grew up, it was evident that he was different. When others sang, he said they cried. When others saw white, he saw black. When others smelled a nice fragrance, he smelled a disgusting odor. When others found food bitter, he found it sweet. He perceived the mortal world as the complete opposite of what others perceived.Soon, people began spreading rumors that Feng Shi’s son was insane. Feng Shi was consumed with worry over her son’s mental illness. She heard that Lu State was the land of righteousness and propriety. It was home to more noble men than Qin State was, and even Confucius lived there. Hoping that someone in Lu State could cure her son, Feng Shi packed their bags and set out with her son.
