Since ancient times, who has not died? Let the faithful heart shine through the annals of history. Straightforward and honest, unyielding to power, upholding justice, and making decisions with divine insight—Hai Qing Tian, the honest official of a generation. During the Ming Dynasty, one of the most chaotic periods in Chinese history, treacherous officials and eunuchs held sway over the court, with corrupt officials in abundance. Hai Rui, a ninth-ranking county magistrate from Chun'an County, stood upright and incorruptible, unafraid of authority, upholding the law fairly, and making decisions with unmatched discernment… The common people affectionately referred to him as “Hai Qing Tian.” During the Jiajing era, the Grand Tutor Yan Song wielded immense power, controlling the court, colluding with eunuchs, and causing chaos among the populace; Hai Rui fearlessly confronted Yan Song's confidant, the imperial censor Hu Zongxian, and cleverly outmaneuvered the corrupt official and imperial envoy Yan Maoqing… Together with ministers like Xu Jie and censor Zhang Juzheng, he impeached Yan Song, causing a tumult within the court, with disputes erupting, swords drawn, and bloodshed ensued… After Yan Song's downfall, Hai Rui served as a manager in the Ministry of Revenue. Witnessing the chaos in the court and the empty state treasury, he was heartbroken and decided to carry a coffin to advise Emperor Jiajing, writing criticisms against the emperor for being superstitious and neglecting state affairs… yet he was dismissed and imprisoned… After Wanli ascended to the throne, he appointed Hai Rui as a special envoy to patrol the capital, where he “shook the mountains and frightened the tigers” to eliminate local bullies and deal with corrupt officials… Wherever he went, bandits and corrupt officials trembled in fear, and the common people adored him… In the fifteenth year of Wanli (1587), the honest Hai Qing Tian was betrayed by one of his own protégés, and in anger, frustration, and helplessness, he ended his life in sorrow…
