It is ironic that Confucius's son died an early death. We can infer that the death of Confucius' son, Carp is ironic, he suffered an early death when the symbolism of the carp fish is longevity, because carps can get very old, it also represents the dragons due to big scales on the body of a carp. According to the meaning of the carp Confucius' son, Carp, should have a long live which did not happen.

I found this on line hope it helps 
<span>The narrator arrives on the premises expecting that Roderick will be ill given the letter that he previously received from him.  He says that the letter itself speaks to the nervous agitation that Roderick must be experiencing and expects that Roderick will not be in his right mind.  When the narrator finally makes contact with Roderick he is absolutely shocked by the changes that Roderick's appearance has undergone.  Roderick greets the narrator with such "vivacious" warmth that the narrator is taken aback, questioning the sincerity of the greeting.  However, upon looking more carefully at Roderick the narrator is reassured of the genuineness of his expression and settles down to take in Roderick's full appearance.  Upon examining Roderick's face, the narrator is shocked at the dramatic shift in the narrator's boyhood good looks, comparing Roderick to a wasting away corpse but still maintaining some of the natural appealing qualities which he once bore.  It is clear that Roderick was once a vivacious and attractive individual but now suffers from great anxiety and misery given his condition.  In fact, the narrator is so surprised by Roderick's current condition that he doubts the fact that it is the same person that he once knew.  Moreover, Roderick's actions add to the perplexing nature of Roderick's appearance.  The narrator describes Roderick's inconsistent behavior as being full of life at one moment and absolutely sullen the next.  This strange behavior reinforces previous characterizations of Roderick as anxiety-ridden and ill, which is a dramatic shift from his previous character.  </span>
