Author: Ai Qing
Dusk arrival in our wilderness,
The flame of happiness rises-
Under the dark Woods,
Flashing red light to show off ...
White smoke is like fog at night,
Woods full of valleys,
With the autumn wind,
Slowly spread out into the distance ...
In the white smoke forest,
In the light of the bonfire,
There are several farmers and peasant women,
With the shadow of the late harvest.
