Historical allusions of being gentle and humble

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a widow in Shangyu County, Kuaiji, Zhejiang, who was very filial to her old mother-in-law. People in the village praised her as a good wife. Later, her mother-in-law died of old age.

This widow has a sister-in-law who is vicious and cunning. Not only is she disrespectful and unfilial to her mother, she even accuses her of being abused by her sister-in-law. After the old man died, she went to the county government to complain, saying that her sister-in-law had poisoned the old woman to death. The county magistrate was a foolish official and sentenced the widow to death without any investigation. Meng Chang, who was serving as a minor official in the county government at that time, knew that this was an unjust case and hurriedly reported it to the eunuch, but the eunuch did not take it seriously. Meng Chang was angry and resentful and resigned. The widow finally died unjustly.

Two years later, a new prefect was appointed, and Meng Chang reported to him that the widow had been unjustly tortured. The new governor punished the woman who falsely accused the wise woman, and the people all applauded her. Soon, Mengchang became the prefect of Hepu. Mengchang had a fellow countryman named Yang Qiao who served as minister in the imperial court. He knew Meng Chang well and recommended Meng Chang to the emperor seven times, but Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty ignored him. Yang Qiao wrote to Emperor Huan for the eighth time, saying: Your Majesty has recommended Meng Chang, the governor of Hepu, to Your Majesty seven times, but because of my incompetence, I have never been accepted. Mengchang is indeed a man of noble character and has done many good things for the people. He is a rare and honest person. If he is chosen by Your Majesty, he will definitely help Your Majesty achieve great things!?

But Emperor Huan of Han still did not adopt Yang Qiao's suggestion. Mengchang decided not to be an official anymore, so one night he secretly boarded a fisherman's boat and left quietly alone.
