Liu Qi
Liu Qi, already frail in health, coupled with physical exertion on the court affairs, was soon terminally ill. As he is dying, Liu Qi wanted to see his mother again, but holding grudges towards Liu Wu’s death, Yi Fang refused to meet him. Then, Liu Qi commanded that he must be carried to the door of the Empress Dowager’s chamber, and still Yi Fang refused to see him. Liu Qi called upon Yifang in a tender voice, as a longing son calls to his long-departed mother. Eventually, his heartfelt speech slowly reaches Yifang’s heart. With tears in their eyes, both mother and son hugged tightly and in Liu Qi’s last breath, reconciled the hostilities between them.
