His Filial Piety Moves Heaven and Earth

This story was set in the childhood of Shun, a mythical Chinese ruler. Shun's mother died when he was young so his father remarried and had another son with Shun's stepmother. Shun remained filial to his father, respected his stepmother and loved his stepbrother even though they tried to kill him. His filial piety moved the gods so they protected him from harm and made the animals help him in his daily farming chores.
