Extended data:
There is a story about honesty: a promise is worth a thousand dollars.
At the end of Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Lu Bu in Chu State. He is an honest and frank man and very trustworthy. As long as he agrees, he will do his best. Therefore, he was praised by many people and everyone respected him.
He used to be a general in Xiang Yu's army and defeated Liu Bang many times. So when Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty and became emperor, he ordered the arrest of Lu Bu, and announced that anyone who caught Lu Bu would be rewarded with 1,200 gold, and those who hid it would be punished by all three families. However, Ji Bu is honest and often shows great bravery, so everyone wants to protect him. At first, Ji Bu hid in a friend's house. After a while, the news of catching him became tighter. His friend shaved off his hair, disguised himself as a slave, and sold it to the Zhu family in Lu as a laborer, with dozens of servants.
Zhu's master appreciated Lu Bu very much, so he made a special trip to Luoyang to find Liu Bang's good friend Ru Yin Hou Tenggong to intercede for Liu Bang, hoping to cancel the arrest warrant against Lu Bu. Later, Liu Bang did pardon Lu Bu and gave him an official position.
