In the eighth part of our "Death Train" series, watch as a father and daughter discuss potential field trips abroad, including a trip to our thieves' next traget- the local museum.
As Dandan and her father peruse the exhibits at the museum, our thieves are hard at work discussing strategies, plotting escape routes and planning their upcoming heist.
Meanwhile, a pair of travelers comes across a very interesting bowl which is in the hands of an elderly woman, who is completely unaware of its value. Watch as they take advantage of the situation - but don't think things will end so simply for the hopeful youths.
It looks like our gang of antique thieves already had their eyes on the bowl our travelers "found" in the last episode. Watch as our sneaky thieves attempt to find a way to get their hands on the bowl themselves - legal or not.
As our travelers realize they're out of luck, the thieves are back with the bowl intact. It also appears as though two of our criminals may be a little more than just colleagues.
The idiom, "Cheng ren zhi mei," is explained through a story. It essentially means that we should help others succeed rather than pointing out their faults.
The antagonist of the story, Wan Renxian, still hasn't learned to "Cheng ren zhi mei," laughing at his neighbor when he injures himself. However, when he is given another golden opportunity to do a good deed, the question becomes, will he finally take it?
When Wan Renxian comes through at a time when he is most needed, his neighbors' reaction to his kindness isn't quite what he expects. Like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," no one is willing to believe that this time, he is really telling the truth.
Having discovered Wan Renxian's act of kindness, his neighbors apologize and thank him. Just as with the old fortune teller, Wan Renxian should be given a chance to right his wrongs. Such is the meaning of “Cheng ren zhi mei.”
