This story names: 供声震直並牌-- Ding Lan Carved the Wooden Statue of His Parents and Respected them -Shirley's 199th Assignment at
Ding Lan was from Henei (today¨s Henan Province)in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220).
His parents passed away when he was young, so that he often missed them and wanted to appreciate them for the love and care that they had given him from his childhood. So, he carved two wooden statues of his parents and treated them as alive parents, to discuss every thing with them, to have his own meals after blessing them, to tell them before going out of the door and to meet them as soon as came back home, never got slack for one day.
As time passes, his wife did not bow in the statues, even she pricked their fingers with a needle curiously, so that the fingers of the wooden statue flow blood out.
When Ding Lan came back home, he found that tears were dropping from the eyes of the wooden statues of his parents.
After knowing the fact, he divorced his wife.
I painted this painting for this story 1 month ago. How do you think of it? Do you enjoy it?
