The beauty of the second couplet numerals in the younger brother's life.

The words "ten thousand dead", "abandoned wasteland", "six thousand miles" and "twelve years" have already contained the poet's sense of depression and injustice, but his sufferings are only deliberately hidden, which makes people "think about it". In the twelve years that Liu Zongyuan was demoted, there were indeed many chances to die. In Yongzhou, he was caught in four fires and almost burned to death. The poet's exaggerated words such as "ten thousand deaths" are nothing more than exaggerating his own situation and explaining that he has been exiled to such a remote "wild" place for a long time, which is very unfair and outrageous.
