Fan Zhongyan, Duke of Zheng Wen, was very poor when he was young. He lives in a family named Zhu in Suiyang and often associates with a warlock. One day, the warlock was very ill, so he asked someone to call Fan Zhongyan and told him, "I am good at smelting mercury into platinum. My son is too young to give him this secret recipe. Now I'll give it to you. "
So he sealed this secret recipe and a catty of platinum and put it in Fan Zhongyan's arms. Fan Zhongyan just wanted to refuse when the warlock died. Later, after more than ten years, Fan Zhongyan became an admonition officer and the warlock's son grew up.
Fan Zhongyan sent someone to call him and said, "Your father has magical powers. When he died, because you were young, you asked me to save the secret recipe first. Now that you have grown up, you should return this thing to you. " So I took out the secret recipe and gave it to the warlock's son with the same logo as before.

Fan Zhongyan's anecdote:
Fan Zhongyan went to the shrine to ask for a visa before he became famous. He said, "Can I be Prime Minister in the future?" Then draw lots and sign "No". Then I prayed for another sign and said, "If not, then I can become a good doctor." The signature indicates that it is still not allowed.
So he sighed and said, "If you can't benefit the people, it's not what a gentleman should do all his life." Later, someone asked him: "It is natural for a gentleman to aspire to be a prime minister. Why do you want to be a good doctor? " Isn't this a little too humble? "
Fan Zhongyan replied: "How come? The ancients said,' Always make good use of people, so there is no abandonment', and always make good use of things, so there is no abandonment'. A talented and learned person, of course, expects to help a wise monarch govern the country and benefit the world. Even if one of them failed to benefit, it seemed to push him into a ditch. Only the prime minister can benefit all the people. "
"Now I personally write that I can't be a prime minister, and to realize the wishes of all the people is to be a good doctor. If you really become a good doctor with superb medical skills, you can cure the diseases of your loved ones in the world, save the poor in the world and maintain health in the world. Nothing can benefit the people except a good doctor. "
