When Xu Wei was 36 years old, Hu Zongxian became the governor of Zhejiang Province because of his meritorious service in resisting Japan. He longed for Xu Wei's name for a long time and invited his teachers and friends to call him into the meeting. Governor Hu Zongxian thinks highly of him. Although Xu Wei's position and material benefits are good at this time (this is the only time to be proud of in his miserable life), Xu Wei still feels not free, because even if he enters the officialdom as a guest, he has to deliberately deal with it and do a lot of things he doesn't want to do. After an anti-Japanese victory, Hu Zongxian gave Xu Wei a silver pheasant, and Xu Wei wrote a poem on it:
A piece of snow cluster cold clothes, silk embroidery.
However, I cherish literary talent and grow up on talent.
The cage of giving is very narrow, and the habitat is blue cold.
Look at the low eaves and Hong Fei in the sky.
In the poem, he compares himself to a caged bird. At a time when Xu Wei has probably seen the end of Yan Song Group, he is vaguely worried.
