Wise Beyond His Years



Copyright © 2000. Original: Lambda print, 48" x 48".
When Kung Jung (died 208), a 20th-generation descendent of Confucius, was four years old, his father asked him to pick a pear from the basket. He chose the smallest. Questioned of his selection, he innocently replied, "My brothers are all older, they eat more than me. I am small, I don't need much." His father was proud of his young son. Even at his tender age he is wise, unselfish, has respect and admiration for his elders.
