The vernacular translation is as follows:
When Su Dongpo was working in Hangzhou, someone complained that a person was in arrears with the purchase of 2, yuan for silk. Mr. Wang then called the man to ask, and said, "My family made fans as a profession, just as my father died, and since this spring, it has been raining and the weather is cold, so I can't sell the made fans. I didn't mean to owe him money."
Mr. Wang looked at him carefully for a long time and said, "Bring the fan you made for the time being, and I'll help you open it." After a while, the fan was delivered, and Mr. Wang took 2 blank silk-sandwiched sectors, conveniently picked up the pen for judging the case to write running script and cursive script, and painted dead wood and bamboo stones, and it was finished in a moment. He handed the fan he had painted to the man and said, "Go outside and sell it and pay back the money."
The man walked out with a fan in his arms and tears as he thanked him. Just out of the mansion, people who like poetry and painting scrambled to buy a fan with 1 yuan, and the fans they took were sold out immediately. Those who came late couldn't buy it if they wanted to, and even left with great regret. The fan seller then paid off all the debts. The whole people in Hangzhou county praised and lamented (this matter), and even some people were moved to tears.
The original text is as follows:
Mr. Wang is on the day of Qiantang River, and there is a complaint that the silk is not worth 2 thousand yuan. When the public called for it, the cloud said, "A family made fans for a living, which was suitable for the death of their father, and it has come since this spring, even if it is rainy and cold, it is not a responsibility." After a long time of familiarity, he said, "Take your fan, and I will make a market for you."
After a short time, take a white ball with 2 pieces of silk, and then make a pen as a cursive script and dead wood and bamboo stones at will, and it will be finished in an instant. That is, pay it: "It is also a responsibility to pay for it quickly." The man hugged the fan and wept and thanked him. At the beginning, it exceeded the government's door, but the busybodies fought for a thousand dollars to get one, and they did everything they could, but those who did not get it later were left with regret. So I paid for it, and a county called it, until I cried.

The Story of Chunzhu:
Su Shi lived happily in Hangzhou, and compared himself with Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty. But in the sixth year of Yuanyou (191), he was recalled to the DPRK. However, due to political disagreement, Yuanyou was transferred to Yingzhou in August of six years, Yangzhou in February of seven years (192) and Dingzhou in September of eight years (193).
After the death of the Empress Dowager Gao in the eighth year of Yuanyou, Zhezong came to power, and the New Party came to power again. In June of Shao Shengyuan (194), he was relegated to Huizhou (now Huiyang, Guangdong) again.
In the fourth year of Shaosheng (197), Su Shi, who was 62 years old, was sent to Danzhou, Hainan Island (now Danzhou, Hainan), a desolate place on the edge of the river. It is said that in the Song Dynasty, banishing Hainan was only a lesser punishment than copying others. He regarded Danzhou as his second hometown. "I am from Daner, and I am parasitic in Xishu."
He runs a school here and introduces the style of study, so that many people have traveled thousands of miles to Danzhou to learn from Su Shi. In the Song Dynasty for more than 1 years, no one in Hainan ever entered the imperial examinations. But soon after Su Shi returned to the north, Jiang Tangzuo here gave a tribute to his hometown. For this reason, Su Shi wrote a poem: "The sea has never broken its veins, and the Pearl Cliff has never been seen before."
People have always regarded Su Shi as the pioneer and sower of Danzhou culture, and have deep reverence for him. Dongpo Village, Dongpo Well, Dongpo Field, Dongpo Road, Dongpo Bridge, Dongpo Hat, etc., which have been handed down in Danzhou, express people's memory, and even the language has a kind of "Dongpo dialect".
