He started the journey in the spring of 1507 and arrived a year later, stopping over on the way to visit his father. Liu's agents pursued him and he escaped assassination only by throwing his clothing away by the Chʻien-tʻang River near Hangchow, thus suggesting suicide. Some accounts, to make the event more dramatic, have him escape by sea from Hangchow to Fukien and thence to Kuei-chou. More reliable chronicles, however, have recorded his trip overland from Hangchow to Kuei-chou. In Kuei-chou he taught the Miao aboriginals to build houses and live in them. en 2003 David Hinton Chʻang-Kan Village Song The Bedford Anthology of World Literature https://archive.org/details/bedfordanthology0002unse/ 2 w:Bedford/St. Martin's 0-312-24872-5 2002112262 53341702 334 https://archive.org/details/bedfordanthology0002unse/page/334/ The Chʻü-tʻang was a hazardous gorge along the Yangtze River near the remote city of Kuei-chou (Guizhou); the dangerous Yen-yü Rock lies in the midst of the river in the gorge.
