Zilu said to Confucius, "if you go far away with a heavy load on your back, you will not choose a place to rest. Your family is poor to serve their parents. As an official, you do not consider the salary. When I used to serve my parents, I had to go a hundred miles away to carry rice.

I followed hundreds of chariots and horses, and sat down with the grain of my family, Wanshi and Leiyin (jichongnianzi). But I wanted to eat gray vegetables and carry rice for my parents, but it was no longer possible. " Confucius said, "Zilu served his parents with all his efforts in life and thought after death."
