This is a poem about youth.
In my sixteen-year-old dream,
I feel a spring road stretching in front of me.
In the air,
Filled with countless invisible sounds of flapping wings and flying,
Roads,
Run all the way to the sea with water.
Lovely people sit in the shade by the roadside,
Knit a white hat.
The wind blew the catkins.
In my sixteen-year-old dream,
I am completely dissolved in freedom.
Under the noon sky,
What a beautiful flower I am.
Older girls,
Went to the south with the meek eyes of the mare.
His letter came,
It brings the fragrance of water lotus and the smell of the sea.
Those wheat-colored animals,
Practice flying over the rainbow on my ranch.
I say "no" to everything,
And my body always jumps up and says "yes".
