GUNAR
Auto-translated
Kong Rong was a famous writer in the Han Dynasty, and he was very intelligent at the age of six or seven. Many learned officials would pose various difficult questions to him, but none of them could stump him.
Once, Kong Rong attended a banquet. At the banquet, he cleverly answered questions from several people, and received praise from many people present. Everyone said that he would definitely achieve great things when he grew up.
However, one official, seeing everyone praising this six or seven-year-old child, felt uncomfortable and said to the people: "I think that people who are smart when they are young may not necessarily be smart when they grow up." Kong Rong listened and immediately replied: "I think you must have been very smart when you were young."
