Sinh phi bách tuế tử thiên thu. »
Nghĩa là :
« Người tuy ở đất Tam-Hàn, mà thanh-danh thì lẫy-lừng vạn quốc.
Sống tuy không đầy trăm tuổi, nhưng thác còn lưu tiếng đến ngàn thu. »- In 1909, in the wake of the assassination of Japan’s Prime Minister Itō Hirobumi at the hands of the Korean revolutionary An Jung-geun, which resulted in his execution, Mr. Mai Sơn dedicated a duilian to the Korean revolutionary:
“Body in the Three Han, name in the myriad lands.
Life not 100 years, death 1000 autumns.”
That is to say:
“While your person was in Korea, your renown was international.
While your life did not last 100 years, your death shall be remembered forever.”
