梁惠王 / King Hui of Liang

梁惠王 / King Hui of Liang is one of [[Mengzi|孟子 / Mencius]]’s major interlocutors in 30.孟子：战国愤青的赤子之心. The episode identifies him with Wei Hui Wang after the move to Daliang and places his questions against Wei’s post-Maling decline, military humiliation, and urgent desire for national advantage.

In the source, Liang Hui Wang is not treated as a cartoon villain. He undertakes relief and water works, but Mencius’s replies argue that partial benevolence is not enough. The opening “何必曰利” exchange becomes the source’s cleanest case for Righteousness Over Profit / 义利之辨, while “五十步笑百步” and the starvation analogies become arguments for more thorough Mencian Benevolent Government / 孟子仁政.
