Mu Qing came from a poor family. His mother dragged out an almost impoverished existence in the capital: initially she earned by sewing, but then lost her eyesight and lost her last source of income. The only hope for her was the money that Mu Qing received at the monastery for auxiliary work. Sometimes he would pick fruits on Mount Taicangshan and take them to his mother to pamper her. It wasn't forbidden, but the situation was still awkward.
