Cai Shun, a native of Runan (now Henan) in Han Dynasty, lost his father and wanted to be filial to his mother. At that time, it was the chaos of follwed, and there was a famine. Rice was expensive, so we had to adopt mulberry and mother to satisfy our hunger. One day, I happened to meet the Red Eyebrow Army, and the rebel soldiers sharply asked, "Why do you put red mulberries and black mulberries in two baskets?" Cai Shun replied, "The black mulberry is for my mother, and the red mulberry is for myself." The Red Eyebrow Army pitied his filial piety and gave him three barrels of white rice and a cow to take back to his mother as a token of respect.
