皋行縣，見一媼垂白而泣，哀而問之，對曰：「李氏之婦，有二子：鈞、鍔，宦游二十年不歸，貧無以自給。」 While touring the counties Gao saw a white-haired old woman weeping. Moved to pity, he asked her story. She said, "I am a widow of the Li family. My two sons, Jun and E, have been away in office for twenty years without returning. I am too poor to support myself."
