時尚書右丞徐祚、尚書左丞沈客卿俱來候貞，見其形體骨立，祚等愴然歎息，徐喻之曰：「弟年事已衰，禮有恆制，小宜引割自全。」 At the time right vice director Xu Zuo and left vice director Shen Keqing of the Secretariat both came to visit Zhen. Seeing his frame wasted to bone standing alone, Zuo and the rest sighed in sorrow. Xu admonished him, "Brother, your years are already advanced; rites have a constant measure—you should slightly restrain your cutting grief and preserve yourself."

客卿曰：「謝公家傳至孝，士大夫誰不仰止，此恐不能起，如何？」 Keqing said, "The Xie house transmits utmost filial piety; which scholar-official does not look up to it? I fear he cannot rise—what then?"
