Two things:
Original text: There was a great hunger in the Qi Dynasty. Qian Ao placed food on the road, waiting for hungry people to eat. If there were hungry people, they would gather their clothes and trade with them. However, when Qian Ao came, he was holding food on his left and drinking on his right, saying: "Hey! Come and eat! He raised his eyes and looked at it, saying: "I only don't eat the food that comes with a sigh, so that's what happened!" "So he thanked Yan, and finally died without eating. Zengzi heard about it and said, "Weiyu! When it sighs, it can be gone; when it thanks, it can be eaten.
Translation: There is a serious famine in Qi. Qian Ao prepared meals on the roadside for the hungry people passing by. A hungry man walked towards the place, covered his face with the sleeve, his feet shuffling, his eyes dull and lively.
Qian Ao held food in his left hand and soup in his right hand, and said: "Hey! Come and eat!" The hungry man looked up at him and said, "Because I don't eat the food given by others, That’s why we ended up in this situation!
Qian Ao caught up with him and apologized, but he still refused to eat and eventually died of hunger. When Qian Ao calls rudely, of course he can refuse, but after he apologizes, he can go and eat.
