    战乱中,江革背着母亲逃难,几次遇到匪盗

    They would kill him and he wept to say: "My mother is old and no one would support her." Seeing he was pious, the bandits let him go.

    贼人欲杀死他,江革哭告:老母年迈,无人奉养,贼人见他孝顺,不忍杀他。

    Later he moved to Xiapi, Jiangsu and supported his mother by working as a laborer2. He was poor and barefooted himself, but he supported his mother quite well.
