丁好禮，字敬可，真定蠡州人。 Ding Haoli, whose style name was Jingke, was from Li County in Zhending.

時國家多故，財用空乏，好禮能撙節浮費，國家用度，賴之以給。 At a time when the state faced many troubles and finances were exhausted, Haoli curbed wasteful spending, and the state's expenditures relied on him to be met.

時京師大饑，天壽節，廟堂欲用故事大宴會，好禮言：「今民父子有相食者，君臣當修省，以弭大患，燕會宜減常度。」 At a time of great famine in the capital, on the Emperor's Birthday the court wished to hold a grand banquet by precedent. Haoli said, "Now fathers and sons among the people are eating one another. Ruler and ministers ought to examine themselves to quell this calamity; feasts should be scaled back below the usual level."

擴廓帖木兒扈從皇太子還京，輸山東粟以遺朝貴，饋好禮麥百石，好禮不受。 Köke Temür escorted the crown prince back to the capital and sent Shandong grain as gifts to court nobles. He presented Haoli with a hundred piculs of wheat, but Haoli refused it.

大明兵入京城，或勉其謁大將，好禮叱之曰：「我以小吏致位極品，爵上公，今老矣，恨無以報國，所欠惟一死耳。」 When Ming forces entered the capital, some urged him to call on the commander. Haoli rebuked them, saying, "I rose from a petty clerk to the highest rank and was enfeoffed as a grand duke. Now I am old and regret that I have nothing with which to repay the state—all that remains is one death."

後數日，大將召好禮，不肯行，舁至齊化門，抗辭不屈而死，年七十五。 Several days later the commander summoned Haoli. He refused to go and was carried to Qihua Gate, where he spoke defiantly without yielding and died, aged seventy-five.

其後也先帖木兒以罪黜，召拜監察御史，累轉參政中書，其節義與好禮並云。 Later Yesan Temur was dismissed for his crimes. Yong was recalled and appointed investigating censor, promoted by stages to participant in the Central Secretariat. His integrity and righteousness are spoken of together with Haoli's.
