In the journey of life, they often sing and send gifts with poetry. According to incomplete statistics, if the article letters are not included, the two only sing poems and nearly 200 songs. They knew each other and exhorted each other. The most typical of these are Su Shi's "Hezi Yu Shichi Nostalgia" and "Water Tune Song Head"
They are supported by life and death in difficulties. In 1079, Su Shi was imprisoned for the Wutai poetry case, and Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty read Su Shi's poetry collection during the Shang Dynasty in order to grasp the handle and completely kill Su Shi. Su Shi was worried that something would happen to his brother in prison, so he composed a poem in prison, namely "Sending Disciples in Prison", which was transferred from the jailer to Su Rui.
In order to rescue his brother Su Shi, even though Su Rui knew that on the cusp of the storm, the emperor was angry and the Manchu Dynasty was an enemy of both culture and martial arts, Su Rui decided to risk his life to write to Emperor Shenzong: "I want to beg in the deep palace to redeem my brother" ("Letter to my brother in prison") Would rather not have his own official position, do not want his own political future, but also to rescue his brother. How can this feeling of fighting for his life and protecting his brother not be envied? After Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, Su Rui was implicated and demoted to Huangzhou. Despite this, Su Rui still came from afar to send Off Su Shi.
