檜死，汝為曰：「朝廷除此巨蠹，中原恢復有日矣。」 When Qin Hui died, Ruwei said, "The court has removed this great pest—the Central Plains will be restored before long."

宋汝為歸自金國，論事切直，與寅亮俱迕秦檜，一則誣以罪譴，一則逃遁以死，於乎悕矣！ Song Ruwei returned from the Jin; his counsel was cutting and direct. He and Yinliang both opposed Qin Hui—one was falsely charged and punished, the other fled and died—alas, how rare!
