[23] 哭竹生筍 (Crying Over Bamboo and Reaping Shoots)

Meng Zong, a native of Jiangxia during the Three Kingdoms period, his father died early when he was young, and only his old and frail mother lived with him. One day, my mother felt very unwell. After seeking medical advice, she learned that making soup from fresh bamboo shoots could cure herself. Because it was the harsh winter and there were no fresh bamboo shoots at all, Xiao Mengzong very much hoped that his mother's health would get better, but there was nothing he could do. Worrying and worrying, the little Meng Zong ran to the bamboo forest alone, holding the bamboo and crying. His crying moved the bamboo around him, and a miracle happened. With a sound of "hu", many tender shoots grew on the ground in an instant. Xiao Mengzong was very happy when he saw it. He carefully picked the bamboo shoots and returned home happily. After returning home, I immediately made bamboo shoot soup for my mother with bamboo shoots. After drinking the bamboo shoot soup, my mother's health improved a lot. Meng Zong made great achievements later, and became an official to Sikong.
