Do you know Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan? The two great poets met when they worked as government officials(官员). And they often shared the same love for writing and the same dream: to make people's lives better. Soon they became best friends.
However, their happy life didn't last long. They tried to change some unfair rules, but the powerful people didn't like it. They sent both of them far away to poor, small towns. This was a hard time for them, but they never forgot each other. They wrote letters and poems to share their sadness and give each other courage. Liu Zongyuan once sent medicine to Liu Yuxi when he was sick, and Liu Yuxi always encouraged Liu Zongyuan to keep writing.
Years later, the emperor let them come back. But soon, Liu Zongyuan got very ill and passed away. Before he died, he asked his family to give his poems and books to Liu Yuxi. He knew Liu Yuxi would take good care of his works. Later, Liu Yuxi spent years editing(编辑) Liu Zongyuan's writings and made sure they were passed down to future generations.
