Meilanfang not only worshiped painters as teachers, he also worshiped ordinary people as teachers. Once when he was performing the Peking Opera "Killing Shy", he heard an elderly audience member say "no good" amidst the applause.
Meilanfang did not have time to undress and change his clothes before he took the old man to his home in a special car. He respectfully said to the old man: "The person who said I am not good is my teacher. Mr. said I'm not good, there must be a high opinion, please teach, students are determined to mend."

3. Bian Magpie
On one occasion, the king of Qi wanted to make Bian Magpie "the best doctor in the world". However, Bian Magpie was determined not to accept the honor, saying that he was not the best in the world, and that his two older brothers were better than he was. The king was slightly puzzled and asked, "If your two brothers are better than you, why are they not known?
Bian Magpie replied: "My second brother, Bian Yan, was able to cure major illnesses in a timely manner, and was able to diagnose and cure major diseases when they had only minor symptoms. That is why he is only slightly famous in his home village, where people know that they can go to their second brother for minor ailments. The elder brother Bian Hong's medical skills are even more remarkable, can prevent diseases before they occur, just look at a person can judge what kind of disease the person may get, and then in time to treat it before it gets sick.
So only the family knows that big brother's medical skill is brilliant, even the village people do not know the level of big brother. Only I, the magpie, can neither cure big illnesses from small illnesses nor prevent illnesses from happening in the first place, and by the time my wonderful hands come back to life, the patient is already very sick, so my two brothers with no fame are the miracle doctors, and I am only the famous doctor with a great reputation.

4, Chengmen Lixue
Yang Shi of the Song Dynasty was very fond of learning. At noon on a snowy day, he went with his classmates to seek advice from Mr. Cheng Yi, a science teacher. Mr. Cheng was taking a nap, so they stood outside the door and waited. The snow got heavier and heavier, so they waited patiently outside the door so as not to disturb the teacher. The teacher woke up. When he found Yang Shi standing in the snow, he asked them to come in, and Yang Shi hurriedly bowed to the teacher and asked for advice. Confucius was a famous great thinker and educator in ancient China, very learned, but never complacent.
When he traveled around the world, on his way to Jin, he met a seven-year-old child who blocked the road and asked him to answer two questions before letting him pass. One was: why do geese crow loudly. Confucius replied, "Geese have long necks, so their cries are loud." The child said, "Frogs have short necks, so why do they also have loud calls?" Confucius was speechless. He was ashamed to say to his student, "I am not as good as him, he could be my teacher!"
