Once more: ‘In my own town there lived a physician by name Chang-yan-ming.
He was a man who never took payment for his treatment from any one in poor
or indifferent circumstances; nay, he would often make presents to such
persons of money or corn to lighten their lot. If a rich man would have
his advice and paid him a fee, he never looked to see whether it were much
or little. If a patient lay so dangerously ill that Yanming despaired of
his recovery, he would still give him good medicine to comfort his heart,
but never took payment for it. I knew this man for many a year, and I
never heard the word _Money_ pass his lips! One day a fire broke out in
the town, and laid the whole of the houses in ashes; only that of the
physician was spared. His sons and grandsons reached high dignities’ (p.
110).
