Story:
During the Warring States period, there was a brave warrior named Feng Fu in the Jin State. He dared to fight tigers bare-handed.
Later, he announced that he would never hunt tigers again and would focus on his studies.
One day, while he was out in the countryside with friends, they saw many people surrounding a tiger, but no one dared to approach it.
Feng Fu stepped forward, grabbed the tiger, and threw it to its death.
His friends remarked, "You’ve returned to your old profession!"
