Story:
During the Han Dynasty, there lived a filial son named Huang Xiang. His mother passed away when he was young, yet he was known for his good sense and understanding.
In the sweltering summer, he would use a fan to cool his father's sleeping mat.
In the biting winter, he would first climb into the bed to warm the quilt with his own body before his father retired for the night.
Later, when he became the Prefect of Weijun, the area was hit by a devastating flood. Huang Xiang selflessly used his personal salary and family wealth to assist the disaster-stricken people.
Locals praised him, saying, "He is unrivaled under heaven, Huang Xiang of Jiangxia."
