In early life he had been a petty Magistrate at 桐鄕 T'ung-hsiang in Chehkiang, and had so won the love of the people that he left orders with his son to bury him there, where his memory would be kindly cherished. The Emperor Hsüan Ti greatly lamented his death, and presented a hundred ounces of gold to the family.
