Then he wakes up from his dream and found he is a man.
“Who am I, indeed?” he asks himself.
“Am I Zhuang Zhou or the butterfly? “(https://www.daowen.com)
Finally, he says, “Maybe I am a butterfly.In my dream, I become a man and my name is Zhuang Zhou.” Zhuang Zhou lived more than 2, 000 years ago.We also call him Zhuang Zi.

Zhuang Zi and his friend a walk along the river.Zhuang Zi says, “Look at the fish! How happy they are!” His friend asks him, “You are not a fish.How do you know they are happy? ”Zhuang Zi smiles, “But you are not me.How do you know that I don’t know the fish’s feelings?”
