The original text of the poem "Congratulations to the Bridegroom and Farewell to Friends"

Original text

Waving and leaving here. More and more Nakan looked at each other sadly and complained again and again. The corners of his eyes and brows seemed to be full of hatred, and he was still crying. I understand that I misunderstood the words of the previous book. The rolling clouds and mist pass by, and I and you are considered close friends in this world. Does God know if a person is sick?

The frost is heavy on the east gate road today, and the waning moon shines on Hengtang for half a day, which is so desolate. The siren sounded and my heart was broken, and I was traveling alone in the world. By cutting the strands of sorrow and hatred. It's like the cliffs in Kunlun collapsing, and it's like a typhoon sweeping the world. Chong Biyi, and Yunzhu.

Translation

Waving and leaving. Before parting, they looked at each other sadly and talked about how to bear the pain of separation. I look at the corners of your eyes and brows, holding back tears filled with sorrow.

I know you still have misunderstandings about the last letter. But no matter how big the misunderstanding is, it is just a fleeting mist. In this world, the only ones who can be called close friends are you and me.

If you are sick and need treatment, does God know? In the morning, the east gate road was covered with frost, and there was half a waning moon above Hengtang, making it look so desolate. The sound of the whistle is heartbreaking, and I have been traveling alone to the end of the world.

Cut off the strands of sorrow, thoughts and hatred, and join the revolution. Let us be like the cliffs of Kunlun Mountain collapsing and the typhoon sweeping the world. Let us meet in the future struggle and fly together.
