Story:
During the early Eastern Han Dynasty, there was an honest official named Fifth Lun, who served as the Grand Administrator of Kuaiji. He was so incorruptible that he even personally cut grass to feed his horses.
When people asked if he had any personal biases, he openly admitted that he did. He gave an example: when his nephew was ill, he would get up ten times during the night to check on him, yet each time he could fall back asleep peacefully. However, when his own son fell ill, he would also get up ten times a night, but due to the deep concern in his heart, he couldn't sleep a wink the entire night.
