“There is dung in every house. The only question is whether one eats it. I don’t like garlic, but I still eat it because you like it. I would never ask you to eat stinking bean curd; but as for pickled cucumber, if you would only hold your nose and eat some you would realize how good it is. It’s like the old stories about the girl named Wu-yen, who was ugly but virtuous.”
Shen Fu, “The Old Man of the Moon”, 1809.
