It's too late to save yourself. Inability to help others. The idiom comes from the picture of the situation of killing the disabled bandits for Guo Shijun of Huazhou written by Du Fu of Tang Dynasty: "although the disabled are very poor today, they have no time to save themselves. They are still worried about their ability to go against the commander and look at the high horse and fat horse in autumn, and they have a plan to break through the encirclement and refuse the path."
