The trees in the garden are lush, and the crystal dew rises in the sun.
Spring fills the earth with hope, and everything presents a scene of prosperity.
I am always afraid that when the cold autumn comes, the trees in Ye Er will turn yellow and the grass will wither.
The river runs to the sea, and when will it return to the west?
A lazy youth, a lousy age.
Translation:
Sunflowers in the garden are lush, and Ran Ran rises in the glittering and translucent morning sun. Spring scatters hope all over the earth, and everything shows prosperity. I am always afraid that the cold autumn will come, the leaves will turn yellow and the grass will wither. When can a hundred rivers run to the sea and return to the west? If young people don't work hard in time, they will only regret it for a lifetime when they are old.
This article is from Han Yuefu's Long Songs.

With vivid images such as morning dew is easy to dry, Qiu Lai leaves fall, and a hundred rivers flow to the east, it entrusts the philosophy of life that "if a teenager doesn't work hard, the boss will be sad". With the help of the morning dew, the flowers fall in autumn, and the running water goes east and does not return, it sighs that time flies and life is short, encouraging people to firmly grasp the life that flies with time and make efforts to use it.
Appreciate:
This poem begins with "Sunflowers in the Garden", and then the water flows to the sea and never returns, indicating that time is like running water and never returns. Finally, we should persuade people to cherish their youth and work hard, and don't wait until they are old to regret it. This poem uses things to express meaning. First, it uses the sunflower in the garden as a metaphor.
"Green" means it is flourishing. In fact, under the sunshine and rain in the whole spring, everything is scrambling to grow. Because they are all afraid that autumn is coming, they all know that autumn wind will wither a hundred herbs. The rhythm of life in nature is like this, and so is life. If a person doesn't work hard when he is in a good time, it will be too late to regret when he is old.
