Lin Zexu can write at the age of seven. When I was nine years old, on the Lantern Festival, the teacher gave the students a pair: "Light a few lights to pray for Gan Kun", and Lin Zexu replied: "Playing a gong represents heaven and earth". On another occasion, the teacher took Lin Zexu and other students to visit Gushan. On a whim, he said the words "mountain" and "sea" and asked the students to be absolutely. While other students were still thinking, Lin Zexu took the lead in singing: "The sea is boundless, I am the peak." Another person went out and said, "Mother Duck has no shoes to wash her feet." Lin Zexu blurted out, "Chickens don't comb their hair in a bun." His father said happily, "The child has a good nature and sometimes finds something. If he doesn't introduce it, he will be suffocated. "
When Lin Zexu was young, he once took a test for a boy. His father was afraid that his walking fatigue would affect his exam results, so he let him ride on his shoulders. When I came to the examination room, the examiner saw that Lin Zexu was young and intended to test him, so he made a couplet and asked him to make it as a condition for entering the examination room. This couplet reads: "The son rides his father like a horse." Lin Zexu took his time. While going down to the ground, I received a couplet: "Father and emperor want their children to be Jackie Chan." After listening to Lin Zexu's bottom line, the examiner nodded frequently and was full of praise. He was glad to let Lin Zexu into the examination room.
