24 EXEMPLARS OF FILIAL PIETY: WANG POU


Filial Piety of Wang Pou (A.D. 265)

When Wang Pou's mother was alive, she had great fear of the sound of thunder. After her death, her son Wang Pou would run to her tomb each time the sound of thunder was heard.  He made it a habit throughout his life to run her tomb and kneel down and call to his mother saying: "I'm here, please do not fear!"
