謝枋得妻李氏，饒州安仁人也。 Li Shi, wife of Xie Fangde, was from Anren in Raozhou.

嫁枋得，事舅姑、奉祭、待賓皆有禮。 Married to Fangde, she observed all propriety in serving her parents-in-law, conducting sacrifices, and receiving guests.

枋得起兵守安仁，兵敗逃入閩中。 Fangde raised troops to defend Anren; defeated, he fled into Fujian.

武萬戶以枋得豪傑，恐其扇變，購捕之，根及其家人。 Commander Wu, judging Fangde a heroic figure and fearing he might incite rebellion, offered a reward for his capture and hunted down his entire family.

枋得母桂氏尤賢達，自枋得逋播，婦與孫幽遠方，處之泰然，無一怨語。 Fangde's mother, Lady Gui, was especially worthy; from the time he became a fugitive, his wife and grandsons dwelt far away, yet she bore it calmly without complaint.
