On one occasion, Yu went out for an inspection tour by car and saw a criminal being escorted past. He stopped the car and asked, "what crime has this man committed?" The escort replied, "he was caught stealing other people's rice. We sent him to be punished. After hearing this, Yu got out of the car and came to the criminal and asked," why do you want to steal other people's rice? " The sinner saw that the questioner was a big man, thought that he would be punished severely, and bowed his head in terror. Yu was not angry about this, but tearfully exhorted him. People around Yu didn't understand. One of them asked, "this man stole something and should be sent to be punished. I don't know why the king shed tears in pain? " Yu wiped his tears and replied, "I don't cry for this sinner, but for myself. Once upon a time, when Yao and Shun were leaders, the common people were of one heart and one mind; now that I am a leader, the common people are not of one heart and one mind with me, and they have done something to harm others and benefit themselves, so I feel very painful in my heart! " Yu Dang ordered his servants to take out a turtle board and engraved on it "the common people are guilty. "One person" and then ordered the offender to be released.
