There was no rice in the house, so in order for his parents to eat rice, he had to walk a hundred miles to buy rice, and then carry the rice on his back to rush back home to feed his parents. A hundred miles is a very long way to travel, and maybe nowadays some people can do it once or twice. But to do so regularly throughout the year was extremely difficult. However, Zhong Yu was willing to do so. In order to make sure that his parents could eat rice, no matter how cold and windy it was, he went out of his way to buy rice a hundred miles away, and then carried it back home.

In the winter, when it was very cold and icy, Zhong Yu walked on the ice on the river with goose feather snow on his face, slipping step by step, and his feet were frozen. When his hands were too cold to hold the rice bag, he stopped and put it to his mouth to warm it up, and then continued on his way.

Hundreds of carriages followed him when he went out, and he was given a very large salary every year. The food he ate was very rich, and every day he had a lot of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. They lived a rich life.

But he did not rejoice because of the good material conditions, but sighed from time to time. Because his parents were no longer alive. How he wished his parents were alive to live a good life with him; but they were gone, and even if he wanted to carry rice a hundred miles away to feed his parents again, it would never be possible.
