Late autumn, in this distant frontier, who can remember me? The leaves rustled. It's a long way home. Home is as distant as a dream. On the Double Ninth Festival, the scenery in my hometown is just right, and my sorrow is doubled. Unwilling to climb high and look far. I'm just sad. Hongyan will be even more desolate when it returns to the south.
