受辱不怪

Keeping cool in the face of rudeness

--------------------------------------------------
Fu Pi , who hailed from Honan Province , was a famous minister
during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279).

He was a good-natured man and was kind to everyone.

Once , as he was leading home on mule-back , he was rudely ordered
by a patrolman to dismount.

Fu Pi kept cool and told the patrolman his name .

Upon hearing the name , the patrolman knew he had offended a high-ranking official and hurriedly kelt down to ask for forgiveness.

Fu Pi just smiled and rode his mule away without scolding him.

(tr. H. H. Jeng)
