Book of Chen, Chapter 32Volume 32: Filial Piety · 19 passages
于時甚寒,冰雪交下,老弱凍死者填滿溝塹‵不害行哭道路,遠近尋求,無所不至,遇見死人溝水中,即投身而下,扶捧閱視,舉體凍濕,水漿不入口,號泣不輟聲,如是者七日,始得母屍。 The season was bitterly cold; ice and snow fell together, and the old and weak who had frozen to death filled ditches and moats. Buhai walked the roads weeping and searched near and far without rest. Whenever he came upon a corpse in a ditch or stream he threw himself down, lifted and examined the body, his whole person frozen and soaked. He took no food or drink, and his cries never ceased. After seven days thus he found his mother's corpse.
