Tianjin Sha Qiu Si
Ma Zhiyuan
Old vines are faint crows, small bridges are flowing, and old roads are thin horses. When the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
translate
At dusk, withered vines, old trees and crows flapped the wings of Qiu Si and landed on the bare branches. Exquisite and chic bridges and flowing water, low and shabby huts are becoming more and more quiet and warm. On the desolate ancient road, a thin and haggard horse was carrying the same tired and haggard wanderer in a foreign land, wandering in the cold and bleak autumn wind in a foreign land. The sun is setting, but where is the home of the wanderer? Where is your hometown? With this in mind, how can a wandering wanderer not be heartbroken!
