Biography
As an Attendant Officer in his province he refused to allow his wife and children to share his lodgings believing absolute honesty to be the best example given to the common people.
He was also a very generous man, and while he served as Inspector of Yang province in the early AD 180s he gave away so much that he had nothing left of his salary. He once repaired his hat with glue and refused to light candles, sitting in the darkness, so his friends and clients would not take notice.
In AD 184 he served as Inspector of Xu and held command against the Yellow Turbans. He reported the excellent conduct of the local leader Zhao Yu. (1)
