Deeds
After Mei Ping fell ill, he was struck from the rolls and sent home. He lived in Guangling, and before he had traveled even 200 li on the way home, he stopped at a friend’s house. (Recorded in the historical record)
Hua Tuo happened to visit and, at the host’s request, examined Mei Ping. He said that if Mei Ping had sought treatment earlier, he might have avoided this situation. The illness had already taken hold; if he hurried on, he might still see his family, and Hua Tuo predicted that he would die in five days. (Recorded in the historical record)
Mei Ping set off for home at once and, just as Hua Tuo had predicted, died five days later. (Recorded in the historical record)
