Located on the north shore of Shihu Lake, the fisherman is the former residence of Yu Jue, built in the 23rd year of the Republic of China. Yu Jue (1868-1951) was first named Zhaoxiong, the character Bingchen, the number Si Xue. A native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, a former Qing dynasty, a poet of works, good at painting, and especially fine in calligraphy.
Yu Jue and Shen Yunzhi presented the embroidery works of "RenXian Shang Shou Tu" and "Immeasurable Shou Buddha Figure" on the seventieth birthday of Cixi in the thirtieth year of Guangxu (1904), which were appreciated by Cixi, and the words "Fu" and "Shou" were given to them, and the two changed their names to Yu Fu and Shen Shou.
Shen Shou's original name was Shen Yunzhi, the character Xuejun, a native of Wu County, Jiangsu (now Suzhou), embroidered from elementary school, diligent and studious, and had the reputation of needle gods in the township, and married Yu Jue in 1893. Shen Shou conceived her first child ten years after marriage, and overworked to catch up with tributes and suffered a small birth resulting in lifelong infertility. However, Shen Shou subconsciously created a simulated embroidery method, and in 1904 he won the gold medal of the World Exposition in Italy.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty abdicated, they got acquainted with Zhang Xiao, the husband and wife went to Nantong to develop, Yu Jue "left Nantong when he left Nantong", the couple was away from more and less, and then Yu Jue took two rooms of aunts and wives. Shen Shou had been frail and sickly, and finally became seriously ill, bloated, chest tightness, anorexia, and died in Nantong on June 18, 1921. Shen Shou was in Nantong for seven years, and Zhang Xiao gave meticulous care. She was afraid of rumors, and wrote in the poem that "the heart has its own master, not with the wind", and her last wish before death is to be buried in Nantong and not return to her husband's family. After his death, he also caused a national pen and ink lawsuit between Yu Jue and Zhang Xiao.
When Shen Shou was terminally ill, she still forced herself to embroider Zhang Xiao's handwriting "Qianting" with her own green silk. Zhang Xiao sighed:
Lin Tang is ill,
Tired Jun still spends the embroidery spirit.
Beauty and intentions should be directly in response to the price of pearls,
The afterglow is still pressed into dust.
