"english": "Later [Han] Anguo was tried under the law and sentenced to prison, where he was humiliated by Tian Jia, a prison guard. Anguo said: “Won't the ashes of a dead fire burn once again?” Tian Jia answered: “Should they burn, I'll piss on them.” Not long after, the post of the clerk of the capital of Liang fell vacant. The Han court sent an envoy to appoint Anguo as the [new] clerk of the capital of Liang, raised him from among convicts, and designated him to a post of official ranking 2000 shi. Tian Jia ran and fled the state.",
