My father pass away when I was young, and mother persuaded me to learn
medicine instead of becoming a scholar. Mother said to me:
"Learning medicine will be a good way to support yourself and also to help
others. Besides, having a skill on hand, you will never have to worry
about making a living, and you can even become famous through your medical
skills. This has always been an ambition your father had for you."
One day, at the Compassionate Cloud Temple, I met an elderly but distinguished
looking man who had a long beard and had such a look of a sage that I
immediately paid my respects to him. The old man told me:
"You are destined to become a government official. You can attain the rank
of Erudite First Level Scholar next year, why aren't you studying for the
exam?"
