(Song) Lu You
I lay sprawled in my lonely country, not feeling sad about my situation, but thinking about defending the frontier of the country.
The night will be over, I lie in bed listening to the sound of wind and rain, in a daze in my dream, riding an armored horse across the frozen river to the northern battlefield.

Late at night, listening to the storm outside the window, the poet gradually fell asleep. In the dream, the poet rode a horse, crossed the frozen river and galloped on the battlefield.
