I only remember that a bricklayer lived in a thatched cottage and a weaver had no clothes to wear.

Masons live in a straw house.

Masons, living in a straw house; Weaver, no clothes; The wife who sells salt drinks light soup. Farmers eat rice bran; Cooking is light and fragrant; Sleeping on the kang; To die as a coffin

This song vividly describes the life and oppression of the people during the Kuomintang rule with strong contrast.
