Thunder and rain, could it be Tianen? This sentence was written by Yang Lian, one of the Six Gentlemen of Donglin in the late Ming Dynasty, when he was on the verge of death in prison due to persecution by Wei Zhongxian.

The context is: "The family is far away, the friendship is endless, the body is not a stone, it is just a destiny. Thunder and rain, could it be God's grace, a life of benevolence and righteousness, death in a prison, it is hard to say that there is no place to die." Why blame God? Why blame people?"?

Translation: Thunder and rain are gifts from God. He believed that thunder and rain and dew were gifts from God, but he said immediately afterwards: He lived a life of benevolence and righteousness, and died in a prison. It is hard to say where he would die. Extended information

Wei Zhongxian's life experience:

Wei Zhongxian was from a poor family when he was young. He lived on the streets and was illiterate, but he knew archery and horse riding, liked gambling, and was obsessed with wine and sex. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian was forced by gambling debts and wanted to see eunuchs spending lavishly in amusement parks, so he castrated himself and became a eunuch in the palace. Because he had been familiar with the eunuchs in the palace for a long time, it was rumored that he had not been cleansed all over and still had one testicle.

In the palace, Wei Zhongxian made friends with Wang An, the eunuch of the palace, and received his protection. Later, he got acquainted with the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Youxiao's wet nurse, Hakka, and ate with her. Towards the emperor's eldest grandson, he tried his best to flatter him and lured him to have banquets, which made him very happy. In 1620, Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and became the Ming Xizong. Wei Zhongxian was promoted to eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies.
