Inside Story

The poem was finished when Tungpo was expelled. His health was not in good condition and he was suffered from hearing problems. Chinkuan wrote a letter to Tungpo. He was suspicious that Su Shih pretended suffering from hearing problem. Tungpo replied to explain that he was not faking; he also reminded himself in the letter not to speak too directly. Tungpo was expelled because he manifested political opinions which were not favored by the regime.
