Officialdom is mud. Only by mixing officialdom can you be an honest official.
Tao Qian was an official for many times, and finally took a back seat because of the darkness of officialdom.
Yu Qian remained uncorrupted under the oppression of darkness (eunuch forces).
Ji Kang refused to work for the imperial court, and was later killed for offending Zhong, but his name will remain forever.
Princess Dong Xuan's servant killed someone. Dong Xuan enforces the law impartially and does not bow to evil forces. Emperor Guangwu called it an "injunction".
Prometheus stole divine fire for human civilization, was left by Zeus in the Great Caucasus Mountain, and was pecked by vultures every day.
