Legend has it, more than a thousand years ago, in the Gin dynasty of China, there was a person named Yue Guang. He has many friends, and he especially likes to invite friends to come over to have a drink and chat. Once at the banquet, a friend of Yue Guang saw a little snake wriggling in the glass while toasting. Although his friend was frightened, because of his pride, he had no choice but to force himself to drink up the wine. After he got home, he constantly felt like there’s a snake winding around in his stomach. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He even ended up falling ill because of this!

其实我也知道，只是还是不由自主地想要道歉。虽然我每天过着没有空调的生活，真的很憋闷。

后来有位南郭先生听说了这事，心里琢磨着，觉得这可是个捞钱的大好机会，于是他千方百计地混进了那支乐队。虽然他根本不会吹竽，但每回乐队演奏，他都跟着装模作样，手指这么按一按，头那么摇一摇，不时地流露出沉醉的表情，看着还真像是一位专业的乐师。反正没吹出声，也不会出错被发现。

When a man named Nan Guo heard about this, he pondered to himself, thinking this is an amazing opportunity to fish for bucks. Therefore, he did everything possible to infiltrate this orchestra. Although he does not know how to play the yu at all, he just had to press a finger or two, nod his head a few times, and occasionally express that he is fully immersed to look like a real musician. As long as he doesn’t play out any sounds, no one would know if there was a mistake anyway.
