Original poem of "A Gray Dog Changing the Wind"
Light joy is like a gray dog, deep love is like a long wind.
My love is separated by mountains and seas, and I hope the mountains and seas can be leveled. Translation of "Cang Dog Changfeng"
A superficial liking for someone is like the white clouds in the sky, which may disappear at any time. Deep love for someone is like the gentle wind, silently accompanying them anytime and anywhere and never leaving. Although there are mountains and deep seas between me and the one I love, even though the mountains cannot be removed and the sea cannot be filled, I will still guard her silently like the long wind.
