屠仁守，字梅君，湖北孝感人。 Tu Renshou, styled Meijun, was from Xiaogan in Hubei.

時政出多門，仁守因天變請修政治，條上六事，曰：杜諉卸，開壅蔽，慎動作，抑近習，軫民瘼，重國計，而歸本於大公至正、敬天勤民，疏上不省。 When policy issued from many quarters, Renshou, citing heaven's warnings, asked to repair government and listed six items: stop evasion of responsibility, open what is blocked, be cautious in action, restrain familiar attendants, pity the people's afflictions, and give weight to state finance—all rooted in great impartiality and in revering heaven and laboring for the people. The memorial went unheeded.

仁守痛陳五弊：資敘不計，弊一； Renshou painfully set forth five abuses: qualifications and seniority ignored—the first abuse;

十五年，太后歸政，仁守慮僉人讒構兩宮，易生嫌隙，疏請依高宗訓政往事：「凡部院題本、尋常奏事，如常例； In 1889 the empress dowager returned power. Renshou feared that malicious men would sow discord between the two palaces and easily breed suspicion.

與仁守友善，互相厲以道義。 He was friendly with Renshou, and they urged each other on in duty and righteousness.

一新、仁守、維峻先後直言，皆以語侵太后獲罪。 Yixin, Renshou, and Weijun in succession spoke frankly; all were punished for words that offended the empress dowager.
