The Ugly Man of Lu | 偏激

English Original

A man from the state of Lu was exceptionally ugly.

One day, his father encountered Shang Duo, who was renowned for his handsome appearance, on the road. Upon returning home, he said to his neighbor, "Today I met Shang Duo. He is handsome, but compared to my son, he is not as good-looking. My son is still the more handsome one."
