There was a scholar named Sun Shan in the Song Dynasty, he attended Keju with the son of his county-man, and he was selected although he was the last one on the list. After checking the result, Sun Shan returned home happily. His county-man asked him, “Is my son selected?” He answered wittily, “Your son is behind Sun Shan!”

[Definition] When someone isn’t selected or fails in an exam/competition.
