1, the story of "You can't be a good doctor without a good face":

In the second year after the birth of Fan Zhongyan, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, his father died unfortunately. The Fan family lost their source of livelihood, and Fan Zhongyan's mother Xie was poor and helpless, so she had to take Fan Zhongyan, who was still in infancy, and remarried to a family named Zhu in Shan County, Shandong Province. From then on, Fan Zhongyan changed his surname to Zhu and grew up in Zhu's parents.

Fan Zhongyan studied very hard since childhood and was bent on saving the world and people. When he is studying, he studies hard day and night. For five years, he didn't take off his clothes or sleep. Sometimes when I feel sleepy at night, I throw cold water on my face. He often studies hard during the day and doesn't eat until the sun sets. In this way, Fan Zhongyan understood the theme of the Six Classics and made an ambition to benefit the world.

Once, he met a fortune teller and asked, "Can I be a prime minister in the future?" The fortune teller said, "Isn't your tone a little too big for your age?" Fan Zhongyan said shyly, "Do you think I can be a doctor?" The fortune teller is very curious. Why are the two volunteers so different? Ask Fan Zhongyan why. Fan Zhongyan replied: "Only a good doctor and a good appearance can save people." The fortune teller said, "It's very kind of you to have this idea."
