Now he finally understands where the difference lies between him and his old classmate Zhou Wencong.
Master Shen exclaimed to Zhou Quan, "Brother Wencong, you can truly be called a great Confucian scholar!"
Zhou Quan smiled and nodded, "He was able to guard a village school by himself for more than ten years. Even when our village was hit by a disaster that year, Brother Wencong was still teaching the children in a simple shed. This shows how much he cares for those children who love to read."
