Lin Bu (968- 1028) was born in Qiantang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang). In his early years, he lived in Jianghuai and idled around. Later, he lived in seclusion in the lonely mountain of West Lake in Hangzhou, growing plums and raising cranes. He is not an official, and he is not married. In the old society, he was called "Mei Wife Crane". Tiansheng died in six years, and Renzong gave it to Mr. Jing.
