                            Rong  Yi
   Rong Yi left the State of Qi for the State of Lu. It happened to be a very cold day. When he arrived there, the gate of the State of Lu was already tight-shut, and he had to spend the night in the open air outside the city with a disciple of his. As the night advanced, it turned colder and colder.
   "If you give your clothes to me," said Rong Yi to his disciple, "I will be able to survive the cold, and vice versa. I'm an eminent personage destined for the governing of the country. For the sake of the whole world, I must love my life. You are an ordinary person, and there is no need for you to treasure your life. Would you give your clothes to me, please?"
   "Since I am an ordinary person," replied his disciple, "how can I be so generous as to give my clothes to such a superior being as you?"
Rong Yi uttered a deep sigh, "It seems my proposal is doomed!" So saying, he took off his clothes and gave them to his follower, In the midnight, Rong Yi died, but he had saved his student.
   History does not provide any evidence proving Rong Yi's ability to run well a whole historical period. However, his ideal of benefiting the whole of mankind has reached a height that can hardly be surpassed.
