Synopsis

Before his mother died, she told him, “Son, when you hold office, make sure you can face your conscience.” He carried her words with him to the capital to sit the imperial exams, but because he had no money for gifts, he was sent to Cangwu County, the poorest in the country. There, powerful local families preyed on the people, citizens starved to death, and his predecessor had died in office. Everyone said he would be next. But he wasn’t. Over twenty years in government, he brought down a chief minister, crushed the empress’s faction, introduced reforms, and improved countless lives. In his old age, he returned to his hometown to farm and teach, and wrote a book called The Official’s Mirror. Someone asked if his life had been worth it. He replied, “As long as I can face my conscience, that’s enough.”
