張介福 Zhang Jiefu

張介福，字子祺，自懷慶徙吳中。 Zhang Jiefu, courtesy name Ziqi, moved from Huaiqing to the Wu region.

張士誠入吳，有卒犯其家，危坐不為起。 When Zhang Shicheng entered Wu, a soldier broke into his home, but Jiefu sat upright and would not rise.

介福恐發其先墓，往廬焉。 Jiefu feared his ancestors' graves would be disturbed and went to live in a hut beside them.

使其弟往問，答曰：「無樂亂，無貪天禍，無忘國家。」 He sent his younger brother to inquire after him. Jiefu answered: "Take no joy in rebellion, covet no disaster sent by Heaven, and do not forget the nation."
