Ouyang Xiu, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouyang_Xiu, was a Chinese statesman, historian, essayist, calligrapher and poet of the Song Dynasty.

I quote Ouyang Xiu's life code here because it is harder than usual cases. The question about his life code: which one was stronger, Metal or Wood? Metal (9) took the command, but it was the only Metal in his life code; Wood had two strong roots, (3) and (4), and don’t forget the self code 2 and Wood tomb (8), it seems Wood was strong enough to take Metal as Authority as favor.

On the other hand, he had no Water (Shield) in life code, so Metal and Wood were confrontational, nothing was there to reconcile the clash. Furthermore, although Metal was a single code, it was the end of the circulation: Wood grows Fire, Fire grows Earth, Earth grows Metal, and Metal had no Water to grow. Therefore, massive power was accumulated within Metal.

In conclusion, although Ouyang Xiu had two strong roots, he was still an overall weak to afford Authority, which is unlike usual cases. Fortune telling is as complicated as human itself, there are always exceptions, and we need to analyze on a case by case basis.

With the conclusion, everything is easy. Ouyang Xiu needed to control Authority, therefore he was a successful person with mainly Fire and Wood fortunes. He died at the age 65, in the 8(2) fortune. 8(2) was Slaughter sitting on Slaughter tomb, Slaughter served as foe because Ouyang Xiu was an overall weak. Moreover, the Wood tomb (8) was crushed by the fortune (2).
