My name is Xie Lin, and my courtesy name is Ziyan. My articles are astonishing and I have a photographic memory.

In the court there is Pei Jingzhi, who hides his sword in his smile; in the courtyard there is Shen Zhiyi, whose gentleness hides his edge.
The prophetess from the north saw me and said, "Your heart is like a clear mirror, and you will be drowned in the web of love."

Troubled times need a clear mirror, and troubled times need a clear stream.
And I am the clear stream.
