Chen Ping'an, Xu Yuanxia, and Zhang Shanfeng were persuaded to stay in the prefectural office for three days.
After experiencing the recent calamities, it was as if Liu Gaohua had become a completely different person. He was no longer resigned like before, and would often look for his father to ask questions and learn. They would discuss morals and etiquette, and they would also discuss methods of bringing peace and prosperity.
