On December 18, 2009, Shi Shengchen, a direct descendant of Shi Naian (a famous calligrapher and painter in Hebei Province), made a special trip to Wu Zhi Temple in Qinghe County to express his apology to the descendants of the Wu family on behalf of his ancestors. He made statues of Wu Zhi and Pan Jinlian, and wrote an apology poem, which is still mounted on the wall of Wu Zhi Temple:
Wu Pan was wronged for no reason by fabricating the Water Margin Shi Naian.
The Shi family’s articles and Shi family’s paintings have been criticized and praised for hundreds of years.
The fate of many lives has finally been repaid, and the human world has been reshaped.
The ancestral hall of the Wu family settled the case, and the Shi surname paid the debt.
