The full verse of "I miss my loved ones even more during the festive season" is: I am a stranger in a foreign land, but I miss my loved ones even more during the festive season. I know from afar that when my brothers climbed to a high place, there was only one less person planting dogwood trees.
"Every festive season, I miss my loved ones twice as much" comes from the famous poem "Remembering Shandong Brothers on September 9th" by Wang Wei, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. The original text is:
Alone in a Foreign Land As a stranger, I miss my family even more during the holidays.
I know that my brothers are climbing high, and there is only one missing person.
The translation into modern literature can be:
< p>It is always a bit desolate to be far away from home alone. Every time during the Double Ninth Festival, I miss my relatives far away even more.When I think of my brothers wearing dogwoods and climbing to high places, I feel regretful because I am missing.
