When Kong Rong was four years old, in a certain year and a certain month, it happened to be his grandfather's 60th birthday, and there were many visitors. There was a plate of edelweiss pears on the birthday table, and his mother asked Kong Rong to share it. So Kong Rong divided it according to the order of seniority, and everyone got their share, except the one for himself, which was the smallest.
