《史记·七十列传·酷吏列传》
他常常自己说： 已经背离父母而来当官，我就应当在官位上奉公尽职，保持节操而死，终究不能顾念妻子儿女。 
常自称曰： 已倍亲而仕，身固当奉职死节官下，终不顾妻子矣。 
He often said to himself: “I have intentionally left my parents and become an official, I must dedicate my all to my duty and die in the course of it, it is impossible to worry about my wife and children.”
