There is this passage in "The Legend of Immortals" by Ge Hong, a Taoist priest of the Eastern Jin Dynasty:
When Jun Yi lived in the mountain and treated people's illnesses without taking any money, he planted five apricot trees and one apricot tree for the mild ones. After ten years of this, I remember that more than 100,000 apricots grew into a forest.
The above is the source of inspiration for this little story.
