Liang Hong was a scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was very poor when he was young, and earned his living as a swineherd. He married Meng Guang, a well educated woman. Later, they went to live in the State of Wu. There Liang Hong husked rice for others to make a living. Every day when he came home, Meng Guang served him food with her head bowed and holding the tray up to her eyebrows to show respect for him.
