Passing by General Nam Yi's Shrine

Kinsley Lee

At General Nam Yi's shrine, violet flowers bloom on the bough,

But it cannot work for long, even deceiving may work, temporarily.

As truth unfolded, the meritorious vassal’s showy tombs faded now,

Who’s a Jin-Hoi? Who’s an Ahg-Bi? That’s known to people and history.
