Chapitre 141: Patricide and Filicide

"I've always greatly admired Chinese culture."

Leo nodded, glanced back silently, then said, "By understanding the culture of Mainland China and comparing it to our Western culture, one can always find a lot in common."

Leo shot a look at Chen Chen. "You must know of The Twenty-four Filial Exemplars, right?"

Chen Chen nodded.

"There's a story in The Twenty-four Filial Exemplars that I find very interesting."

Leo smiled. "In a catastrophic year, a filial son named Guo Ju decided to bury his son alive to have one less mouth to feed, so that his mother won't go hungry. This was because he reasoned that, if his son died, he could have another child again, but if his mother died, she can't be brought back to life."

"Makes sense…" Chen Chen nodded.
