Here I present to you some gossip about a man with a temper, from around 400 A.D.
"Wang Shu was by nature extremely short-tempered. Once while he was attempting to eat a hard-boiled egg, he speared it with his chopstick, but failed to get a hold of it. Immediately flying into a great rage, he picked it up and hurled it to the ground. The egg rolled around on the ground and had not yet come to rest when he got down on the ground and stamped on it with the cleats of his clogs, but again failed to get hold of it. Thoroughly infuriated, he once more picked it up from the ground and put it in his mouth. After biting it to pieces, he immediately spewed it out.
When (Shu's lifelong enemy, the calligrapher) Wang Xizhi heard about it, he laughed aloud and said, 'Even if his father, Wang Cheng, had had a temper like this, there still wouldn't be a single redeeming feature about him worth discussing. How much less so in the case of Wang Shu!'"
People never change, do they?
