It was said in Chinese ancient times, there was a young man who lived in the State of Yan. He heard the State of Zhao was more powerful and beautiful than his country.
So, after a long hard journey, he arrived at Handan, the capital of Zhao.
When he walked on the bustling streets, the elegant gaits of people’ held his eyeballs. He was so eager to learn from them.
However, it was easier said than done for the young man. He studied hard but didn’t succeed and failed to remember how he walked before. He eventually had to crawl back to his hometown.
The idiom tells us that it is more important to strengthen your own skills, rather than blindly imitating others.
