jia yu hu xiao（To be very well known.）
In ancient times, there was a woman, known as Liang Gu, who lived with her brother’s family with her two children.
One day, her brother went to work, and Liang Gu was at home alone to take care of one of her brother’s sons and her two children. While she was doing laundry in the courtyard, a raging fire broke out in the house, which blocked the three children in the house, and the situation was very critical.
Liang Gu rushed into the house and took the child out to take a look, but found that it was her son who was saved. At this time, the fire became more and more fierce, and if she went in to save the child, her own life was in danger. She was very anxious, thinking to herself: If I can’t save my brother’s child, but my own child is saved, won’t everyone know that I am a selfish person? she once again rushed into the burning house, but the child was not rescued, and she herself was burned to death.
