Traditional fortune poem
The Scholar's Abandoned Wife
Lun Wenshu was a brilliant scholar from Guangdong who became a legend in Chinese folklore. During the Ming Dynasty, he struggled in poverty while preparing for imperial examinations. His wife, unable to endure their hardships, abandoned him for a wealthier man. Years later, Lun achieved the highest honor—Scholar Laureate—bringing fame and fortune. When his former wife learned of his success, she was overcome with regret and shame. She climbed a tower and threw herself to her death, realizing she had abandoned a diamond while chasing fool's gold. This story became a cautionary tale about loyalty, patience, and the danger of making decisions based on temporary circumstances. In traditional Chinese culture, it represents the tragic consequences of abandoning someone during their darkest hour only to discover their true worth too late.
