Kindness is Lin Zhaotang's character.
Kind people. In the third year of Daoguang reign, Lin Zhaotang of Xiajie Village, Wuchuan, Guangdong Province, rushed to Beijing to take the exam and won the first prize in one fell swoop. After returning home dressed in rags and meeting relatives such as parents, Lin Zhaotang immediately went to a porridge shop in the town. Is Lin Zhaotang going to eat porridge? Yes or no, Lin Zhaotang is mainly thinking about the owner of the porridge shop. In the past, Lin Zhaotang often went there to eat porridge. Lin Zhaotang especially likes the boss's honesty and frankness, and he is simple and honest. He wants to help the boss and make the business of the boss's remote shop better. When Lin Zhaotang came to the porridge shop with a gift, after a little thinking, he wrote the words "Gonggong Store" with a brush. The boss immediately asked people to make the inscription into a big plaque and hang it above the store door. Let's all go and see it. The name of the store was written by the new champion. It is said to be a porridge shop, but the word "rice" is missing from the word "porridge". In this way, the news passed around and people went to see it. People come to eat porridge in an endless stream. Lin Zhaotang later happily said to his boss, "I deliberately left out the rice in the middle of the word' porridge' in that inscription. And it is because there is no rice that there is more rice in your shop. This shows that Lin Zhaotang is a kind person.
