The Chinese people think the outside environment is very important for a people's growth, Mencius's mother( Mencious, the great chinese ideologist in the ancient time)moved three times to find a better neighbourhood for the growth of his son.

Mencius was a wise and kind person who by no means would compromise with evil.

Living close to a cemetery when he was a kid, Mencius often staged the rites which he saw in funeral processions or burial services for amusement. Mother Meng said, "This is not the place I would like to raise my son."

So they moved to live next to a marketplace. Then Mencius began to imitate merchants hawking wares. "This is not the place I would like to raise my son, either." said his mother.

At last they moved beside the school, Mencius learnt the students' manner finaly.The mother said happily:" That's where my son stay!"
