\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In Tianjin, I spent my leisure time, and my seven years of drifting in the north were long. Crossing the ocean, the youthful dreams of the four seas suddenly faded, but my feelings for the vast white snow remained the same. Cherishing the elegance of ancient and modern times, I recite beautiful prose, and my heart soars.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0To appreciate the elegance of poetic meter and achieve a rich, fluid style; to admire beautiful scenery and delight the eyes and heart; to observe waterfalls and grand vistas for a broad perspective, marveling at the artistry of nature; to traverse myriad paths and accumulate knowledge, thereby strengthening one's wisdom.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Bridging thousands of miles to know three paths, gazing at the nine heavens and composing for five watches. With matching aspirations, I delve into ink and cultivate my pen; with shared ideals, I express my true feelings. My heart yearns for the moon shining bright over my homeland. With songs and dances, dragons soar; in rhyme and metre, poets are intoxicated.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Time flies, yet my spirit lingers in my twilight years. I cultivate my own paradise, for it is never too late. I delight in writing and discussing calligraphy and painting, indulging my passions. Pine, plum, cypress, orchid, bamboo\u2014symbols of nobility, elegance, and unsullied virtue. My heart overflows with new creations, imbued with the fragrance of lotus. My thoughts, countless, reside in my computer, flowing from my fingertips. Busy, busy, busy, and yet, what joy I find!<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 The mortal world's journey is long, how can everything go as we wish? Don't strive for perfection in everything, find joy in every moment.<\/strong>Weathered and weary, my gaze drifts like clouds. Tang Dynasty charm returns with the moon's glow. Listening to birdsong, smelling the floral scent, I love it best when flowers are half-bloomed. I bathe in the sunset daily, and gaze at the misty clouds often.
