    Apparently the poet was “Su Dongpo” and the friend was “Fo yin” if you google the names together, this story comes up.

    Super random but there is also apparently a dish named after the poet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dongpo_pork

      Damn, this guy went super hard.


      On the Birth of a Son

      Families when a child is born

      Hope it will turn out intelligent.

      I, through intelligence

      Having wrecked my whole life,

      Only hope that the baby will prove

      Ignorant and stupid.

      Then he’ll be happy all his days

      And grow into a cabinet minister.

      Thanks, that should be enough for diving down a research rabbit hole!
