[1,000 days ago, I was in Mounigou.] 🍷💧🤔 In life, you will meet two kinds of people, some are like wine and some are like water. The difference between them is that wine is unforgettable and water is hard to give up. // 生命中你会遇到两种人，有些像酒，有的似水，他们的区别在于，酒难忘，水难舍。 Shēngmìng zhòng nǐ huì yù dào liǎng zhǒng rén, yǒuxiē xiàng […]
[Arbor Day in China – 植树节] 🌳 A special tree I saw in Changpinggou Valley at Mt. Siguniang in Sichuan: Ama Tree (阿妈树). Although the trunk is old, it uses the remaining nutrients to nurture new shoots. The whole tree gave birth to 199 new lives. The withering branches point to Shuangqiao Valley, Changpinggou Valley, […]
🌾❄️🌕 백색의 노래 한 생애는 다른 생애를 꿈꾼다 늦봄 하얀 배꽃들 설레며 달을 기다린다 한 생애는 다른 생애를 닮는다 여름밤 며밀꽃 밭 달을 기다린다 한 생애는 한 생애는 다른 생애를 파묻는다 계울이다 어제 펑펑 내린 눈들 은몸으로 란을 기다린다 돌벵이를 던진다 돌벵이는 눈 속에 파물혀 다른 생애를 시작한다 이윽고 달 떴다 // White Song One […]
👥🥂🕰️ A person’s life, I think, is spent half among their friends. ——Lao She, “Lovely Chengdu” // 一个人的生命，我以为，是一半儿活在朋友中的。——老舍《可爱的成都》 Yīgè rén de shēngmìng, wǒ yǐwéi, shì yībàn er huó zài péngyǒu zhōng de. ——Lǎoshě “Kě’ài de Chéngdū” // Nhất cá nhân đích sinh mệnh, ngã dĩ vi, thị nhất bán nhi hoạt tại bằng hữu trung […]
🌼🌱🤔 Wild flowers grow every year even if you don’t plant them, but troubles grow without roots. // 野花不种年年有，烦恼无根日日生。 Yěhuā bu zhǒng nián nián yǒu, fánnǎo wú gēn rì rìshēng. // Dã hoa bất chủng niên niên hữu, phiền não vô căn nhật nhật sinh. // Hoa dại không trồng hàng năm có, phiền não […]
❤️🏔️🌠 In this short life, we will all lose eventually, you might as well be bold. Love someone, climb a mountain, chase a dream. // 这短短的一生，我们最终都会失去，你不妨大胆一些。爱一个人，攀一座山，追一个梦。 Zhè duǎn duǎn de yīshēng, wǒmen zuìzhōng dūhuì shīqù, nǐ bùfáng dàdǎn yīxiē. Ài yīgè rén, pān yīzuò shān, zhuī yīgè mèng. // Giá đoản đoản đích nhất sinh, […]
⏳💭🌈 Looking back on life: Half of it is realizing things too late, A third is helpless resignation, But if even a fifth is without resentment or regret, It’s already worth it. // 一生回头看，五分后知后觉，三分无可奈何，能有两分无怨无悔，就算值了。 Yīshēng huítóu kàn, wǔ fēn hòu zhī hòu jué, sān fēn wúkě nàihé, néng yǒu liǎng fēn wúyuàn wúhuǐ, jiù suàn […]
🌍🤐💭 There are always some things in the world that we can never explain or speak of clearly. I must accept my insignificance and my powerlessness. // 世间总有一些事是我们永远无法解释也无法说清的，我必须接受自己的渺小和自己的无能为力。 Shìjiān zǒng yǒu yīxiē shì shì wǒmen yǒngyuǎn wúfǎ jiěshì yě wúfǎ shuō qīng de, wǒ bìxū jiēshòu zìjǐ de miǎoxiǎo hé zìjǐ de wúnéngwéilì. // Thế […]
💍🤔🔒 Actually, if you get married or not, you will regret it. The cats in the alley are free, but they have no home. The dogs in the fence have a home, but they have to keep their heads down for the rest of their lives. // 其实吧 就是，结不结婚都会后悔，巷子里的猫很自由，但是没有归宿，围栏里的狗有归宿，但一辈子都要低着头。 Qíshí ba jiùshì, jié bù jiéhūn […]
