Ten years later he got a job as scholar on the Imperial academy. Chen Dong stood up against the Song policy and was a leader in 1125 during the rebellion against six corrupt officials. He got a historical stature and has been called the voice of public opinion[2] because the voice of the teachers and students[3] were in agree with the voice of the people and soldiers. Chen Dong got executed[4] in 1127, this was in the time the city fell to the Jurchen people as the Northern Song Dynasty last to 1127.
