Every year in the Spring Club, women stop sewing. How can she, lonely, bear to see the spring swallows flying and roosting together? Today, most of the spring scenery in Jiangcheng has passed, and I am still alone in the depths of the chaotic mountains, standing lonely by the creek.
Who will mend my spring shirt when it’s worn out? Lines of tears covered the spring shirt. At sunset, I unsaddled my horse and stood on the bank of the lush grass. Although there were flowers and branches, no one wore them. Although there was good wine, no one advised me to drink it. Even if I was drunk, no one took care of me.
