Article 1: "Trolley"

In the area where the Yellow River flows.

At the bottom of countless dry rivers

trolley

With a wheel

Make a harsh sound and shake the gloomy sky.

Bud overcame cold and silence.

From the foot of the mountain

To the foot of the mountain

Full of noise

The sorrow of the people in the northland

On a cold day

Between poor villages and small villages

trolley

With independent wheels

Deep rutting on the gray loess layer

Across the vast desert

From this road

Which way?

Weave with each other

The sorrow of the people in the northland

Chapter II: The Past Years

Unlike lost luggage.

You can get it back at the lost and found office.

Lost Years

I don't even know where I lost it—

Some of them disappeared in pieces,

Some have been lost for ten or twenty years,

Some are lost in the noisy city,

Some are lost in distant wasteland,

Some are crowded stations,

Some are under abandoned small oil lamps;

What is lost is not like a piece of paper, you can pick it up.

More like a bowl of water spilled on the ground.

It is dry and has no shadow;

Time is a flowing liquid-

Cann't afford to salvage with a sieve or net;

Time cannot become a solid,

If only it were a fossil,

Even tens of thousands of years ago, I could find it in the rocks.

Time is like a gas,

Like smoke from the front of a speeding train!

The lost years are like a friend,

Isolated from the world, suffered some hardships,

Suddenly got the news that he

Long gone.
