Story:
During the Han Dynasty, there was a remarkably filial son named Huang Xiang. His mother passed away when he was young, but he grew up to be knowledgeable and considerate. In the scorching summer, he would use a fan to cool his father's mat before he went to bed. In the biting winter, he would first get into the quilt to warm it with his own body for his father.
Later, when he became the Prefect of Wei Commandery, the region was struck by a severe flood. Huang Xiang generously used his own official salary and family fortune to provide relief for the affected residents.
People lauded him with the saying, 'Unparalleled in the world, Huang Xiang of Jiangxia.'
