《淮南子·缪称训》
儿子能为父亲去死、大臣能为君主舍命，这些事情每个朝代都有，这当然不是为了以死来邀取名利，而实在是他们内心有感恩之情。所以不怕也不想躲避这种死难。
子之死父也，臣之死君也，世有行之者矣，非出死以要名也，恩心之藏于中，而不能违其难也。
There were certainly cases in which a son was willing to die for his father or a minister was willing to die for his sovereign in every dynasty. They did so not to attain reputation after death, but out of gratitude in their hearts. Therefore, they were not afraid of or tried to avoid such deaths.
