"Facing the sea, spring flowers bloom" is a lyric poem written by Haizi in 1989.
Original text of the work:
Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming.
From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person.
Feed the horses, chop firewood, and travel around the world.
Starting from tomorrow, care about food and vegetables.
I have a house facing the sea and the flowers are blooming in spring.
From tomorrow onwards, communicate with every relative.
Tell them my happiness.
That happy lightning told me.
I will tell everyone.
Give every river and every mountain a warm name.
Stranger, I also bless you.
May you have a bright future.
May your lover eventually get married.
May you be happy in this world.
I just want to face the sea and see the flowers blooming in spring.
