Shudan Guan Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 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. * If you are interested in Chinese folk tales or ghost stories, have a look at: https://chinesestoriesfolktales.quora.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
