Chinese Sayings:Translation, Appreciation & Critical Comments



妇人以泣市爱,小人以泣售奸

A woman sheds tears to solicit sympathy and affection; a villain sheds tears to conceal his wiles and schemes.



Appreciation & Critical Comments:

It is a delicate, attractive and lovingly pathetic image when we see a tear steal down a beautiful lady’s cheek, so her tears could gain our sympathy and affection. A villain’s tears are only intended to blur our sight so that we may fail to see through his intrigues and ulterior evil motives.
