Origin and Story of 离题太远
Once upon a time, there was a conceited scholar who was jokingly called 'Doctor.' He went to the market and bought a donkey.
According to the custom of the time, the buyer had to write a contract for the seller.
The 'Doctor' spread out a white sheet of paper and, with his pen, wrote thousands of characters, filling three full pages with irrelevant nonsense that had nothing to do with the donkey.
The donkey seller, growing impatient, urged him to hurry up.
The 'Doctor' quickly replied, 'No rush, I haven't even written the character for "donkey" yet!'
