Once upon a time, there was a rich young man named Zhang Lang who was spoiled since childhood and developed an arrogant and overbearing personality. One day, he rode his horse recklessly on the street and knocked down an old woman selling vegetables, who immediately fainted. Zhang Lang not only failed to help her, but also insulted her and rode away. Bystanders condemned Zhang Lang's evil deeds, but he ignored them and remained arrogant and impolite. Finally, the government intervened and Zhang Lang was sentenced to prison. Even in prison, Zhang Lang remained unrepentant, even threatening the prison guards. Eventually, he died of illness in prison and left this world with endless regret. His story became a warning for future generations, a lesson to know one's mistakes and correct them, and not to make repeated mistakes and remain unrepentant.
