从前在宋国的扬里地方,有一个名叫华子的人,到了中年患了健忘症。常常早上向人借东西,到了晚上就什么都忘了;有时晚上替别人做事,到了第二天早上,又什么都不记得了。走路时,有时甚至走了一半就忘了行走,在房间里又忘了坐下,常常将事情弄得大乱,家里的人为他十分烦恼。 Once in the Yangli area of ​​the Song Dynasty, there was a man named Hua Zi who had suffered from amnesia in the middle age. People often borrow money from people in the morning and forget everything at night. Sometimes they do things for other people at night, but they do not remember anything the next morning. When I walk, I sometimes forget to walk even after I’ve walked halfway. I forget to sit in the room and often mess things up. The family members are very annoyed.
