Harry's story of incorruptible style:

When Harry was a state judge, according to the official atmosphere at that time, when a new official took office and an old friend was promoted, someone would always send some gifts to congratulate him. As long as the amount of these gifts is not large, it is human nature.

However, Harry publicly posted a notice saying that "being a court official now is different from privacy at home." Then return the gifts sent by others one by one, even the gifts sent by old friends He Bangtai and Shu from afar. As for the cheapness of the public, it doesn't cost a penny. Before Harry died, the firewood sent by the Ministry of War was seven yuan more, and he had to pay it back.
