In addition to making a mourning song for Ms. Li, Mr. Liu Che also made a mourning poem for Ms. Li.Fu was the most popular style of Chinese literature between the second century BC and the first century AD.Mr. Sima Xiangru, the author of "Ode to the Long Door" that appeared in Ms. Chen Jiao's chapter, was originally a down-and-out intellectual, and later became discredited because of his love affair with a rich girl.But the Fu he wrote was seen by Mr. Liu Che's imperial eyes by chance, and he was so impressed that he shouted: "He must be an ancient sage. If I become friends with him, this life will be worthless." It so happened that a eunuch was from the same hometown as Mr. Sima Xiangru—both of them were from Shu County (western Sichuan Province).So, luck came and mountains couldn't stop him, Mr. Sima Xiangru was summoned to the capital Chang'an, where he was sent to serve in the central government. From then on, his poverty became so prosperous that even the deposed queen's grandmother wanted to find him.The father-in-law, who had always looked down on him, gritted his teeth and said at the first sight that Sima Xiangru was a sleazy scumbag.But now, he had a sudden change, declaring loudly everywhere that he saw Sima Xiangru at first glance as a great man with great talent and informality.
