When two people were successful in their studies and wanted to break up and go home, Zhang Kan suddenly said to Zhu Hui, "I am in poor health. Today, our destiny has arrived. We must go back to our home. I have something I can trust. " At that time, Zhu Hui was puzzled, waited for a while and looked at Zhang Kan and asked; What do you want from me? Zhang Kan said, "If I die of illness one day, please take good care of my wife and children."
At that time, they were in good health, and Zhu Hui didn't take Chang Kan's words seriously or make any promises. But after they broke up, Zhang Kan died young, leaving his wife and son to lead a hard life. The news reached the ears of Zhu Hui, although he was not necessarily close. After hearing this news, Zhu Hui continued to support Zhang Kan's family and took care of them year after year.
Therefore, Zhu Hui's son was puzzled and asked his father, "You had no contact with Zhang Kan in the past, and you were not close friends. How can you care so much about his family? " Zhu Hui replied to his son, "Yes, Zhang Kan and I were not close classmates, but Zhang Kan entrusted his wife and children to me before he died. Why did he entrust it to me instead of others? Because he trusts me, how can I live up to this trust? I didn't say anything. As a matter of fact, I promised, so I will keep my promise and fulfill my promise to Zhang Kan.
Zhu Hui is a very enthusiastic person. He helps the poor in his hometown. Nanyang satrap had long admired Zhu Hui. In order to praise Zhu Hui, he wanted Zhu Hui's son to be an official. However, Zhu Hui wanted to give the position of an official to Zhang Kan's son, so he went to Nanyang County and said, "Thank you for your kindness. My son's talents and abilities are very limited. It seems inappropriate for me to make him an official. I recommend to you the son of my old friend Zhang Kan. He studies hard and is very polite. He is a talented person. I want to recommend my old friend's son to you, let him be an official and serve the people.
Later, Zhang Kan's son lived up to Zhu Hui's trust in him. He is very honest and diligent and has done many good things for the people. This is the origin of the famous historical allusion "Love Zhang Zhu".
