He is a very responsible and diligent king, and he is eager to see people forget their troubles when they are happy. In order not to miss the farming season, he runs around every spring sowing season, urging people to sow quickly.
However, in this way, year after year, people have formed the habit of Du Yu not coming and not sowing. Finally, Du Yu broke down from overwork. But his soul became a bird, and every spring, he flew everywhere, shouting loudly: Quick, quick. Cry till your mouth is full of blood.
