Some people saw that Wu Zixu was so enthusiastic about Bo Chu, so they asked him, "Bo Chu just arrived here. I don't know how he is. Why do you trust him as soon as you meet him?" Wu Zixu said: "this is because he and I have the same grievances. As the saying goes, people with the same diseases should pity each other, and people with the same worries should help each other. He has the same experience as me, and I will certainly help him. " He Lu, the king of Wu, took in Bo Chu for Wu Zixu's sake and made him a Tsai.
