《南齐书·列传·卷四十九》
我以前曾在西土作过官，比较了解其真实情况，更兼最近战火之后，更是满目疮痍，很难恢复其元气。
臣昔游西土，较见盈虚，兼日者戎烬之后，痍毁难复。
I had served as an official in the West before and have a relatively good understanding of the actual situation there. Moreover, the area is full of wounds after the recent war and it is very difficult for it to recover its vitality.
