Three Baby Swallows and Mr. Zhou’s Three Sons
2005-05-31"The baby swallows would open their big mouths and ate everything the mother swallow brought them. I watched the mother swallow feeding her babies every day. One day I put one of my fingers into the nest, and the baby swallows tried to eat my finger. I took three large thorny seeds and gave each baby swallow a thorny seed. They died shortly afterwards. When the mother swallow returned and saw her dead babies, she wailed sadly and flew away. To this day, every time I think of it, I still regret killing the three baby swallows.” -

Acupuncture – Therapy without Modern Instruments
2005-05-22Pang Anchang said: “The baby had already come out of the placenta, but one of his hands mistakenly held onto the intestine and wouldn’t let go. Therefore, no medicine would do the trick. I only applied the needle on his Hukou point through her belly. The baby felt pain and drew the hand back, so he was born. There was no other special trick.” -
Twenty-Four Examples of Filial Piety: Meng Zong’s Tears Brought Bamboo Shoots from the Frozen Earth
2005-05-22In the thicket he found only frosted leaves and green stalks coated with snowflakes and ice. Look as he might, there were simply no fresh shoots growing in the winter. The thought of his poor mother lying sick on her bed, waiting for bamboo shoot broth, made his heart ache. Uncontrollably, tears began to fall in rivers to the ground beneath the tall, emerald canes.
