Context
In 1988, while lecturing at Kaifeng, a member of the school administration brought someone to me for a fortune reading. After casting a hexagram from birth time and month, the result was Xiao Guo transforming into Feng (Wu-Chen day, Ding-Mao month). Examining the lines, I said: you graduated from university in 1963. Everyone present chorused: "Correct!" I went on: "You are a very famous person."

Analysis
In the hexagram, Officials sit in a thriving position and hold the Subject line; Officials transform into Officials and are produced by the month — both Officials and Wife/Wealth thrive. The two Parents lines (Chen and Xu) — one thrives, the other is in Empty Decade. The Object line, Parents Chen Earth, meets the day-stem; although it transforms into Mao Wood that turns to restrain it, fortunately Officials appear twice, and the Subject and Object lines mutually produce each other.
Actual outcome
This man is a nationally famous writer; he is also an enterprise leader and a Labor Hero, featured many times in books, newspapers, and film.
