Ye Gong asked Confucius about Zilu, but Zilu was wrong.

Confucius said: "The woman is not saying that, because she is a human being. She is so angry that she forgets to eat, and she is happy and forgets her worries. She does not know that old age is coming."

- "The Analects of Confucius· Shu Er》

Ye Gong asked Zi Lu what kind of person Confucius was, but Zi Lu did not answer.

Confucius (to Zilu) said: "Why don't you tell me something else? He is a man who works so hard that he even forgets to eat. He is so happy that he forgets all worries, even that he is getting old. I know, that's all.
