Just as Chen Liang was about to step down from Tong Que Tai, Chen Liang’s heart pain relapsed and with a slip, he fell from the 100-over steps and from then, Chen Liang had not woken up.
Back to 42 years ago when Chen Liang was born, Year was AD190.
During that Era, China was still in a Chaotic situation where the Country was being separated into 3 States – Wu (吳), Wei (魏) & Shu Han (蜀漢). Chen Liang was born in the State of Wei, which was the same State-land as Cao Zhi (曹植), the famous Poet and Son of General Cao Cao (曹操).
At young, Chen Liang was an Intelligent Boy whom could memorize & recite a number of popular Lyrics & Poems left down by the Forefathers.

Upon joining the school, Chen Liang became Good Friend with Cao Zhi. From the 1st day of their meeting, both of them had started to discuss and test each other on Ancient Phrases, Texts & Lyrics.
Time Flies, Chen Liang was now 20 years old and Cao Zhi had also reached 18 years old. Due to General Cao Cao had to bring his Family over to Ye Cheng (鄴城), and so, Chen Liang & Cao Zhi had to depart and before they depart, Chen Liang made an agreement that they will meet again someday in somewhere in the Wei State and Cao Zhi agreed on that.
On the Day of departing, Chen Liang composed a Song for Cao Zhi, this Song was later known as Song Bie Zhi You He Shi Yu (送別摯友何時遇) – translated as Sending Off my Dear Friend and when we will meet again. Upon listening to the Song, Cao Zhi was deeply touched by the Sincerity and Friendship of Chen Liang, as Cao Zhi ride onto the Horse, he shouted at Chen Liang to remind him on the Vow that he had made and Chen Liang nodded his head.
After Cao Zhi had set off for Ye Cheng, Chen Liang returned home sadly and lonely. Upon reaching home, Chen Liang was being greeted by his Mother, Old Madam Chen, who was a Widow after Chen Liang’s father died in a Battle.
Seeing Old Madam Chen smiling with joy, Chen Liang was puzzled and before he could ask his mother, Old Madam Chen brought him to the side hall to see a person.
Upon reaching the side hall, Chen Liang was surprise to see his cousin, Hong Xue, sitting shyly waiting for his arrival.
Immediately after Chen Liang came into the room, Hong Xue stood up to greet his cousin and with respect, Chen Liang returned his respect to his cousin and both of them were being advised to sit down and chit chat while Old Madam Chen went to the Kitchen to advise the servants to prepare Dinner.
While chit-chatting, Chen Liang found out that, his Uncle & Aunty-in-law had already pass-on in a Battle and now, Hong Xue had to come to his home to seek refuge. Knowing that, Chen Liang immediately agreed and told Hong Xue to treat his home as her home, anything in need, he would try his best to fulfil her request.
Upon hearing that, the nervous Hong Xue blushed and just at that moment, Old Madam Chen called out for Dinner and both of them proceed to the Dining-area for their meal.
Soon, a year had passed.
One Day, while Old Madam Chen was in the Main Hall chatting with Hong Xue, Old Madam Chen deliberately made an comment on whether Hong Xue fall for her cousin Chen Liang, with a shock, Hong Xue looked at her Aunty and with a blushed face, she ran towards her room and coincidently, Chen Liang was about to walk into the Main Hall and both of them knock into each other. And at the moment, Chen Liang caught attention of the eyes of Hong Xue and was somehow stunned by the innocent & pure look of Hong Xue.
With 2nd round of Face-Blushing, Hong Xue ran towards her room without any further delay and locked the door.
After Hong Xue left, Old Madam Chen was smiling broadly and called upon her son to her side to ask him whether he like his cousin Hong Xue. At first, Chen Liang was a bit shy to admit, but after a few rounds of pushing and threatened Chen Liang that Hong Xue would be married off to other people if Chen Liang didn’t fancy her, with no other choice Chen Liang had to admit.
Upon hearing that, Old Madam Chen was delighted and agreed to get the Match-maker to do Match-making for them and arranged for a Good Day for the Marriage.
Soon, the Date of Marriage was being arranged and after the Date was finalized, Old Madam Chen & Chen Liang started to prepare for the Marriage.
With the necessary arrangement & preparation, the Day for the Marriage had arrived.
Just as on the Morning of the Marriage, while Old Madam Chen was busily preparing the Offerings for the Ancestors, she had a serious fell from the stairs and after getting the Physician to the house for examining, Old Madam Chen was announced Died by the cause of injuring her head from the fall.
Upon getting the news, Chen Liang & Hong Xue were shocked and couldn’t believed that such thing had happened on their Marriage Day.
Marriage turning into Funeral (喜事轉喪), Chen Liang & Hong Xue had to put down all the Marriage Joyous Mood and changed into Mourning Clothing for the pass-on of Old Madam Chen.
With the assistance of the relatives, Chen Liang turned the Marriage Hall into Funeral Wake Hall for the Honouring of his Mother.
Soon, after the Funeral, an Elder of the Family approached Chen Liang & Hong Xue, advising them that, for the next 3 years, they had to maintain themselves in the Mourning Mood, do not engaged into any form of intimate actions or talked about Marriage Issues. After getting the advised, both of them agreed and thanked the Elder for the reminder.
After 49 Days, Old Madam Chen was being buried at the back Mountain where Old Master Chen was buried. After the burying, Chen Liang told Hong Xue that he wanted to build a Hut near the Grave to accompany the newly pass-on Mother for 3 years (結廬守孝). Knowing that this was a form of Filial Piety, Hong Xue supported Chen Liang’s idea and agreed to deliver 3 meals to him daily as a form of Encouragement and also a form of Filialy Piety for her pass-on In-laws.
During the 3 years, whenever its time for Meal, Hong Xue would send the Meal to the Hut at the Back Mountain without failed, despite rains or shines.
Even though both of them couldn’t engage into any form of intimate actions, but the relationship between the 2 of them didn’t fade off, instead, the relationship became more firm and loving.
After 3 years, on the Day of removing the Mourning for his Mother, Chen Liang was returned home.
Upon reaching home, Hong Xue had prepared a great feast for Chen Liang as a form of assisting Chen Liang in walking out from the sadness of losing an immediate family member. Just as both of them was about to have their dinner, Liu Qing (劉清), one of the old classmates of Chen Liang, arrived at the house to look for Chen Liang.
As Chen Liang ushered Liu Qing into the house, Liu Qing saw Hong Xue and with a glance, Liu Qing was deeply attracted by the appearance of her. Due to Chen Liang was around, Liu Qing didn’t dare to take any action, but in his mind, the lustful thoughts had arised.
After telling Chen Liang about his trouble, Chen Liang agreed to assist Liu Qing by allowing him to stay at his house for the time being until his trouble being solved. Upon getting the permission for staying in the house, Liu Qing was happy and pretended to thank Chen Liang for showing concern for him, deeply in his heart, he was eyeing on Hong Xue.
Few months passed, everything seems fine, but this was usually the symptom before a Storm arrives.
One Day, while Chen Liang was out to visit one of his Poet Friends in the nearby town, Hong Xue was left alone at home to look after the house.
On the very night, while Hong Xue was about to get in bed to rest, Liu Qing secretly sneaked into her room. Upon seeing Liu Qing had entered into the room, Hong Xue wanting to shout out for help, but it was too late. Liu Qing had used a drug towel to make Hong Xue coma.
After Hong Xue was being drug to sleep. Liu Qing raped Hong Xue. After Liu Qing had accomplished his “lusty task”, he grinned evilly and left the room. Just as Liu Qing leave the room, Hong Xue woke up, by a glance and noticed that herself was not in an Innocent state, Hong Xue shouted out loudly. Upon hearing Hong Xue’s shouting, Liu Qing dashed into the room and threaten her to stop shouting.
Staring hard at Liu Qing, Hong Xue was filled with Hatred & Shame, she ignored what Liu Qing had advised her and kept on shouting for assistance. At this moment, Liu Qing’s cruelty arised and realised that he had to finish-up Hong Xue before anyone found out the truth and so, with his cruel & cold-blooded hands, Liu Qing picked up a scissor from the Needle-thread Box besides the Bed and mercilessly, stab the scissor into Hong Xue’s heart.
With a final weak struggling, Hong Xue was killed by the rascal.
On the moment of Hong Xue’s death, Chen Liang returned home. As he pass-by Hong Xue’s room, he was puzzled to see the door was still open despite the late hour and so with curiosity, he entered the room to look for his cousin.
Upon entering, Chen Liang was shocked by what he had seen. After returning to his conscious, he wanted to run out from the room, just at the moment, Liu Qing hit hard on the back of his head and immediately, Chen Liang collapsed.
While Chen Liang was in his coma state, Liu Qing placed the Blood scissor onto Chen Liang’s hand and after then, he ran to the Magistrate Office to make a report on Chen Liang murdering Hong Xue due to the Hatred of Hong Xue caused the Death of Old Madam Chen on the Marriage Day.
Upon awakening, Chen Liang found himself in the Jail.
After asking, he realised that he was being put into the Jail for “killing” Hong Xue. Knowing that he was being wrongly accused, he pleaded to see the Magistrate Officer but no matter how hard he pleaded for assistance, no one was willing to assist him. Just as he was about to call for help again, one of the convicts advised him to stop. After Chen Liang ceased his calling, the convict explained to him that the Magistrate Officer here was a Money-eater, unless Chen Liang was rich enough to bribe the Officer, if not, he would have to stay here till he died.
Upon hearing that, Chen Liang was totally disappointed.
Waiting and hoping was all he could do to be released from the Jail, but Heaven was not on his side.
After many years, one day while Chen Liang was sleeping, he had a dream of Hong Xue smiling at him, just as he was about to call out Hong Xue, he was woken up by the Jail Guard, telling him that someone was there to bail him out.
In puzzled, Chen Liang had to follow the Guard out and as he exit the Jail, he saw Cao Zhi. Immediately, Chen Liang broke into tears and cried out loudly in the hug of Cao Zhi.
After Chen Liang was being released, Cao Zhi brought him back to the house and told him that Liu Qing had been sentenced to death after he requested the new Magistrate Officer to re-investigate the case. Upon knowing that he had regain freedom because of Cao Zhi’s assistance, Chen Liang kneel-down and made his kowtows to Cao Zhi.
Soon after Chen Liang showed his gratitude, Cao Zhi brought Chen Liang to a place. Upon reaching the place, Chen Liang saw the Tomb-stone of Hong Xue. At the sight of Hong Xue’s Tomb, Chen Liang broke-down. Sobbing bitterly and sadly, he was heart broken. Cao Zhi was deeply affected by the Love of Chen Liang. Knowing that Chen Liang would have a lot of sorrows to pour-out to Hong Xue, Cao Zhi had to quietly left the Tomb ground leaving Chen Liang alone.
After a long moment of pouring out all the sorrows, just before Chen Liang was about to leave, he recited a Last Poem to Hong Xue to show his Sincere Love towards his Wife:
千載姻緣兮今已斷。(Long Last Fate has disconnected)
風冷如刀兮入骨寒。(Today’s Wind blow like knife & Blades)
吾妻一去兮不曉返。(My wife had left and wont be returning)
為夫奈何兮情何堪。(Leaving me with sadness and loneliness)
葉落墳前兮似銀錢。(Dropping leaves look like paper offerings)
為吾引路兮到黃泉。(Leading me to the path of no turning)
吾妻勿遠兮待汝夫。(Please do wait for me, my dearest Wife)
雙雙繫手兮入雲天。(Hope we can hand in hand, return to the Wonderland)
吾妻憐。皇天不憐兮。(Who pity my Wife)
汝夫枉。天地無望矣。(Who pity me)
夫來至。(Wait for me and I’ll join in moments within)
On the other hand, while Cao Zhi returned back to his Mansion, a lot of Memories appeared in his mind. He recalled on how his Brother accused him for bringing harm to the Family, accused him on the snatching of the Emperor Throne from him and also recalling of how his Lover was being snatched away by his Brother. After that, the scene of how deeply in love was Chen Liang & Hong Xue also appeared in his mind.
Just as Cao Zhi was about to stop recalling of these, he vomited blood and on that very night, Cao Zhi pass-on with depression & of a weak heart.
On 28th Day of Lunar 11 Month in AD232 (農曆十一月廿八日), Cao Zhi pass-on with an age of 40 years old.
Soon, the news reached Chen Liang. Upon getting the news, Chen Liang was stunned and extremely shocked. Due to Chen Liang had been jailed for 20 over years, his physical health was already badly affected. And so, the news of Cao Zhi’s death added on to the declining of the physical health of Chen Liang.
On the 1st Day of Lunar 12 Month, Chen Liang arrived at Tong Que Tai to show his respect to his pass-on Good Friend Cao Zhi. Upon reaching the top of Tong Que Tai, Chen Liang was able to see the whole view of the Wei Empire (魏皇朝).
With the Breeze, Chen Liang could sense that Hong Xue was standing beside him enjoying the nice scenery with him. With the calling of the Cranes, Chen Liang could see the scene of Cao Zhi reciting Poem with him.
Scenes and scenes of the past appeared in the mind of Chen Liang.
Noticing that the Sun was about to set, Chen Liang slowly walked towards the Stair Alley to make his way down. Just at the moment of making his 1st step down, a strong heart pain occurred at the chest. As Chen Liang was about to grab on to the hand-railing, his view was being blacken-out. From then, Chen Liang never returned to consciousness.
After Chen Liang’s passing on, a Poem was being composed by his Good Friends in the memory of him:
銅雀台上登雲天。(translated as Pass-on on the Platform of Iron Sparrow)
恰似金仙返天闕。(translated as Like the Immortal returning to Heaven)
今生緣盡不復返。(translated as Even though the Fate is disconnected)
來世再續人間緣。(translated as We will meet somewhere in the next Re-incarnation)
To be continued… …
