There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, which can shelter the poor people all over the world and make them happy. They are as safe as a mountain even if the wind and rain do not move! Alas! When I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, my house alone will be broken down and frozen to death!
Shihao Officials
Du Fu of Tang Dynasty
In Shihao Village at dusk, there were officials who caught people at night. The old man walked over the wall, and the old woman went out to see.
Why are the officials angry when they shout, and what pain is there when women cry!
Listen to the woman’s speech: Three men garrisoned Yecheng. One man arrived with a letter, and the other two men died in battle. The survivors live in vain, but the dead have long since passed away. There is no one in the room except for the grandson. My granddaughter is still here, so she goes in and out without undressing. Although the old woman's strength is failing, please come back from the official position at night. In case of emergency in Heyang, you still have to prepare morning meals.
The sound of words fell silent for a long time, like hearing weeping and swallowing. At dawn, I will go to the future and say goodbye to the old man alone.
