性篤孝，母老喪明，政每以舌舐母目，逾旬母能視物。 Deeply filial by nature, when his aged mother went blind, Zheng licked her eyes with his tongue each day, and within ten days she could see again.

母疾，晝夜侍側，衣不解帶，刲股肉啖之者再三。 When his mother fell ill, he attended her day and night without undressing, and repeatedly cut flesh from his thigh for her to eat.

母死，負土起墳，鄉鄰欲佐其勞，政謝之。 When his mother died, he carried earth on his back to raise the tomb mound; neighbors offered to help, but Zheng refused.
