Chou Chin asked who the young man was.His name was Mei Chiu and he had just passed the prefectural examination and received the title of "Hsiu Ch'ai".Since Chou Chin was still at T'ung Sheng level (students who had not yet passed the prefectural examination,regardless of age,were called T'ung Sheng,or "child student,") he didn't want to take the seat of honour.But the parents said:"Mr.Chou is the oldest one among us.So please take your seat,Mr.Chou. Don't be so modest."
