My heart was sad because it didn't know where the call came from. . Are the whispers brought by the breeze coming from the world I left? Maybe the tearful singing blended into the joyful silence? Maybe the breeze brought me the breath of the island, lying in the distant sea. In the warm embrace of summer's exotic flowers and plants, the market is over and people are on their way home in the dusk.
I sat on the roadside and watched you row your boat across the dark water, the setting sun shining on your sail; I saw your silent figure standing beside the helm, and suddenly, I saw your eyes staring at me. eyes; I no longer sing, I call out to you to carry me across the river.

Helmsman, hold the rudder steady.

So, why didn't the bamboo flute play music during the day? Because half of the meaning was forgotten by me. I only remembered that she was by my side, but I didn't expect that she was thousands of miles away. Half of love is meeting, this I have seen it, but the other half of love is separation, which I have never seen. I can no longer see the distant and unsatisfied tryst; the barrier close at hand has been erected. Between two people, The infinite sky stretches across; there is loneliness there, there is no words there. Only the sound of the flute can be used to fill the huge loneliness. If there is no gap in the vast sky, the bamboo flute will not play music. The bamboo flute will not play music between us. That piece of sky entered the darkness, where it was filled with daily work, words, and daily fears, poverty, and worries...
