Student 1 : Sanghoon Na
Wu Qi became a general of Wei and attacked Zhongshan. Among soldiers there was a man suffering from abscess. Master Wu himself sucked the pus. The soldier's mother stood [there] and wept. A bystander asked, "The general treats your son like this, yet why are you weeping?" She replied, "Master Wu sucked the boil of this son's father [too], which killed him at the battle of the Zhu River. He fought without turning back[1] and died. Today again he sucked it, who knows at which battle this son would die? For this reason, I am wailing!"

At this, the man’s mother wept and those around asked: “The general is like this to your son, still you weep – what for?” To that she replied: “Master Wu sucked out the infection of my son’s father, and that killed him in battle at the waters of Zhu[5].
