Recently, a netizen posted: "Born in distress, die in peace" by Mencius has existed in middle school textbooks for decades. All those who have been to middle school should have memorized it. There is a sentence "Therefore, God will give great responsibilities to this person." My memory is very clear, because at that time, I also thought about " Li Si " is this "this person"? Until one day he saw someone saying that the word "Yu Si Ren" had never appeared in textbooks, or even in ancient texts, and he was a little confused.
"Did I remember it wrong?" Netizens searched for the 1992 version, 2001 version and 2016 version of the People's Education Press textbook, all of which were "people".
