Meng Jiao (75 1-8 14), a native of Wu Kang, Huzhou (now Deqing County, Zhejiang Province), was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. He lived in Ruzhou (now Ruzhou, Henan) and then lived in seclusion in Songshan. His poems are called "poet's prison" because they mostly describe the world's coldness and the sufferings of the people, which is as famous as Jia Dao's "Bojiao Island".

the song of the homeless
Author: Meng Jiao (Tang)
The mother used the needle and thread in her hand to make clothes for her long-distance son.
Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged.
Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?

A loving mother makes clothes for her long-distance son with a needle and thread in her hand. Before leaving, he sewed a needle tightly for fear that his son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged. Who can say that a child's filial piety as weak as grass can repay the kindness of such a loving mother as Chunhui Puze?
