Chen Shengzhe was born in Yangcheng, with the courtesy name She. Wu Guang was from Yangxia, with the courtesy name Uncle. When Chen She was young, he tried to farm with servants. He stopped farming on the ridges and felt regretful for a long time. He said: "We will never forget each other even if we are rich and noble." The servant smiled and said, "How can we be rich and noble if we work for servants?" Chen She sighed and said, "Oh! How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?"
