能苦身勤力，供養其母，隨時甘旨，終無匱乏。 He endured hardship and toiled tirelessly to support his mother, providing seasonal delicacies without ever falling short.

母喪，水漿不入口三日，悲號擗踴，絕而後蘇者數四。 When his mother died, he took neither water nor food for three days, wailing and beating his breast until he fainted and revived several times over.

葬母之後，遂廬於墓側，晝夜悲哭，負土成墳，蓬發不櫛，菜食飲水而已。 After burying his mother, he built a hut beside the tomb and wept day and night. He carried earth to build up the mound, left his tangled hair uncombed, and ate nothing but vegetables and water.
