Insist on the story of honesty:
Han Xin, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty, lived with his brother and sister-in-law and lived on leftovers when he was a child. Little Han Xin helps his brother during the day and studies hard at night, but his mean sister-in-law still hates his reading very much, thinking that reading consumes lamp oil and is useless.
So Han Xin had to live in the streets, naked and hungry. There is an old woman who works as a servant for others. She sympathizes with him, supports him to study, and gives him food every day. Facing the old woman's sincerity, Han Xin was very grateful. He said to the old man, "I must repay you when I grow up." The old woman smiled and said, "I will be buried when you grow up."
Later, Han Xin became a famous general and was named King of Chu by Liu Bang. He still thinks about the old man who helped him. So he found the old man, took him to his palace and treated her like his mother.
