stagnant water
This is a ditch of desperate stagnant water,
The breeze can't blow a bit.
Why don't you throw more junk and
splash your leftovers.
Maybe the copper will turn green into jade,
A few peach blossoms will be embroidered on the tin can;
In making greasy weave a layer of Luo Qi,
the mold steamed some clouds for him.
let the stagnant water ferment into a ditch of green wine,
it is full of pearl-like foam;
The laughter of the little beads turned into big beads, and
they were bitten by the flower mosquito who stole the wine.
then a ditch of desperate stagnant water,
can be praised in a few minutes.
if the frog can't stand loneliness,
it's dead water and it sings.
This is a backwater of despair.
This is definitely not where beauty lies.
It is better to leave it to ugliness to cultivate.
Let's see what world he has created.

Farewell to Cambridge
I left gently, just as I came gently;
I gently waved and bid farewell to the clouds in the western sky.
The golden willow by the river is the bride in the sunset;
the colourful shadows in the waves are rippling in my heart.
the green grass on the soft mud is oily and swaying at the bottom of the water;
In the gentle waves of the Kanghe River, I am willing to be an aquatic plant!
that pool under the shade of elm is not a clear spring,
it is a rainbow in the sky crushed among floating algae, precipitating a rainbow-like dream.
dreaming? Support a long pole and wander to greener grass.
Load a boat full of starlight and sing songs in the splendor of starlight.
but I can't play songs, and silence is a farewell flute;
Summer insects are also silent for me. Silence is Cambridge tonight.
