Chapter 1: The Biography of the Scholar of the Five Willows

I neither knew the place that the scholar of the five willows was born nor the name of his. He took his alias from the five willows planted around his home. He was tranquil and seldom spoke, he was envious of neither frame or wealth. He was fond of reading books, but he often skimmed through instead of digged into it. Whenever he found the gist of the articles. He will be ravished with joy that he dined not. He was borned fanaticle about boozing, but he couldn't drink much for living in poverty. Kins and friends of his knew about the hobby, who sometimes set up a feast for him. He never enjoyed with formality, aimed for returning drunk. Whenever he was blind drunk, he won't begrudge leaving. He was contented to live in the inadequate house that was too deserted to shading or shielding the wind,to wear ragged clothing that were patches sewing on it. Contented to eat and drink less, so his bowl was always as empty as his basket. He often wrote essays to amuse himself and express his aspirations and interests. Never cared about the gains and the losses of him until he passed away.
