Year after year, the number of patients he cured is not very large, and the apricot trees in his garden have gathered into a forest. When apricots are ripe, from afar, among the leafy green leaves, there are many red apricots covered with branches, which are really beautiful. Later, Dong Feng told people that anyone who came to his Xinglin to buy apricots didn't have to pay. As long as he put some food in the barn, he could go to the forest to get apricots. So, every year, Dong Feng fills the warehouse with the grain exchanged for apricots, and he helps countless poor people with these grains.

Yan Zicheng, a famous doctor at that time, cured him. He specially drew a picture of Xinglin for Yan Zicheng.
