Inside Story

Chen was a senior officer and Tungpo had never met him in person, however many famous courtiers or scholars who Tungpo met while he was younger paid respect to Chen. Now many well known senior officers were no longer existed. Chen’s grandson rewrote twenty five Chen’s poems and gave them to Tungpo. He was rather moved after reading the poems and was able to learn what a person Chen was.
