In the morning someone had come to report to him that a certain poor family had an emergency. He and three women neighbors paid a visit to the home. After returning to his own residence, as he was boiling water to make tea he took up his notebook and his spectacles, and carefully and painstakingly recorded this new information amongst his cases.
早上有人向他通報一戶人家家境危急，他帶了三名鄰居婦女前去「察訪民情」後剛回到家，正在沖茶歇息，一面拿出他的貧戶名冊，架上老花眼鏡，一板一眼端正地將這筆新資料登記在案。
