Step 4: 衔接过渡 斐然成篇
Dear Mike,
It’s great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese literature.
The set phrase you asked me means trying to help seedlings grow by pulling them up. There is a story behind it. A man in the Song State was so anxious about the slow growth of his seedlings that he pulled them upward one by one to help the seedlings grow much taller all at once. Without doubt, all of the seedlings dried up and died. This set phrase means that growing against the law of development in things and being over-anxious for quick results will make things worse.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
