Tips

history
The Eastern Han Chen Lin (陈琳, d. 217) served both Yuan Shao and later Cao Cao. His 《为袁绍檄豫州》 - a scathing open letter denouncing Cao Cao - reportedly cured Cao's migraine when he read it. He was so impressed he later pardoned Chen Lin and employed him.
culture
The contemporary 陈琳 (1970–2009) was one of the first post-reform mainland female pop singers to go national. Her death in 2009 shocked the industry.
