Original text:

Last year today In this door, the peach blossoms on the human face complement each other in red.

I don’t know where the human face is, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.

Translation

Last winter, just inside this door, the girl’s face reflected the bright peach blossoms.

When I came here again today, the girl didn’t know where she was going. Only the peach blossoms were still there, smiling in full bloom in the spring breeze.
