During the Western Jin Dynasty (西晋), there was a man named Zhou Chu. He was very strong — stronger than any other man in the village. People were scared of him because he often bullied (欺负) villagers. At that time, a man-eating tiger and a deep water monster (深水怪兽) lived near the village. They often made trouble. People called them, along with Zhou, the “three evils” (三害).
One day, some villagers asked Zhou to help them kill the tiger and the monster. Zhou killed them after three days of fighting. The villagers thought he was dead, too. So they celebrated his death. When Zhou finally came back, seeing this, he realized how much people hated him and decided to change.
He visited a famous person named Lu Yun. Lu told him, “If one realizes what is good in the morning, he can change his behavior (行为) in the evening. Just do what you think is right.” From then on, Zhou became a good person and stopped bullying others. Later he became a great soldier and died of saving his country.
Zhou Chu is a great example of the old Chinese saying: “A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold.”
