Unexpectedly, during the season of receiving goods in the pear orchard, one night, Li Guifen had just fallen asleep in the old house of the orchard when a local thief known as "Sanmao Eye" came to rob the orchard. "Sanmao Eye" took a liking to the largest pear tree and ordered his men to cut it down and make chairs. Li Guifen rushed forward recklessly to protect the Pear King, but was mercilessly struck by an axe and died of exhaustion. In the spring of the following year, people were surprised to find that new seedlings had grown from the roots of the pear king tree. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a tree with pears hanging in the summer, and by autumn, the ripe pears were even sweeter than before. Someone tried to call Li Guifen to this pear tree, but the crown kept swaying. Coincidentally, in the autumn of that year, Emperor Kangxi passed through Dezhou during his southern tour. Local officials presented the pear on this tree, which was highly praised by the emperor. Upon hearing the story of the pear tree coming back to life, the emperor immediately issued an edict to bestow the title of "Li Guifen Pear". Later on, people gradually called this village Li Guifen Village
