其他文集譯文:
Public Service Officer Public Service Officer (Public Service Officer) is a title given to the Minister of Public Affairs in the ancient Chinese state of Lu. The officer was known for his strict adherence to the law and his disinterest in personal gain. He was also known for being a fair and impartial judge, who did not accept gifts or bribes from litigants.
The officer's reputation as a fair and impartial judge was so well-known that even his own family members respected him. His son once asked him why he did not accept gifts from people who came to visit him at home. The officer replied that he did not want to be seen as corrupt by others, even though he knew that accepting gifts would bring him no harm.
The officer's commitment to fairness and impartiality extended beyond his role as a judge. He also made sure that all officials in the government were held accountable for their actions, regardless of their rank or position. This included himself, as he too had to answer for any mistakes he made while serving in office.
In addition to his commitment to fairness and impartiality, the officer was also known for being frugal and simple in his personal life. He lived modestly, without excessive luxuries or comforts, which allowed him to save money and invest it wisely.
