One of his sons said: “Are you kidding？”“No, I'm serious and all of you must do it with me.” Everyone was in silence at that time. They really didn't want to do it, but they had to do because the oldest man in the family was the most important person at that time.

The next day everyone in Yu Gong's family started to dig the mountains. They put the stones and the earth into the sea. One day a man saw Yu Gong and his children digging the mountains. He told Yu Gong he would never do it. But Yu Gong said although he was weak and would die, his family could continue to move the mountains.
