Once upon a time, there was a young scholar named Li Ming. He grew up in a scholarly family and had little contact with society. He was inexperienced. One time, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examinations. On the way, he met a con man. The con man saw that Li Ming was richly dressed, so he approached him and pretended to be a court official. He offered to help Li Ming find a shortcut. Li Ming believed the con man and ended up being robbed of all his money. This experience made Li Ming realize that he was inexperienced and easily deceived. He decided to study hard to gain knowledge and not be so gullible anymore. He studied diligently and eventually passed the examination, becoming a successful official who contributed to his country.
