🗿🌺⏳ Stone may seem unremarkable, but it can last for thousands of years. Flowers are beautiful, but their fragrance lasts for a season only. // 石头貌不起眼，却能恒久千年万载。鲜花美不胜收，却只不过一季芬芳。 Shítou mào bù qǐyǎn, què néng héngjiǔ qiānnián wàn zǎi. Xiānhuā měibùshèngshōu, què zhǐ bùguò yījì fēnfāng. // Thạch đầu mạo bất khởi nhãn, khước năng hằng cửu thiên […]
🌳🕰️🔍 As children, we hid from friends, seeking each other in the bushes. Growing up, we search for jobs and futures, hiding from sadness and troubles. Time is the only thing we can neither find nor escape. Later, we don’t know what else we’ll need to hide from, but the path back to those old […]
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I hardly found myself as ease, even at my home. I usually reminisced Langmusi, where I last found life worth living. 🐦🦗🎶 Listening to the sounds of birds in spring, of cicadas in summer, of insects in autumn, of snow in winter, of chess in daytime, of flute under the […]
It’s been 2 years since the last time I felt some place as home. Langmusi gave me a feeling of love, like Danba had done 10 years before. Maybe it’s where I arrived after half of the journey, I no longer felt like a passenger to a stranger place. 🏡🌍💫 You don’t need to find […]
So 2 years ago today I left the rainy Ruoergai for Langmusi, a place they called “Oriental mini-Switzerland”. I hadn’t been climbing for nearly two days, after I checked in the hostel, I had to go up the hill nearby. It wasn’t as near as I thought, but the feeling of being alone and quiet […]
Năm nay bỗng dưng thèm kiểu cay nhẹ của Tứ Xuyên, đầu năm Kichi còn được mở quán thì đi ăn lẩu Xuyên tiêu, giờ phải giãn cách xã hội thì mua lẩu tự sôi ăn xong giữ lại gia vị nấu miến ăn tiếp. Hôm qua mình ăn miến mề gà với bò ướt […]
Happy World Environment Day! 🌅🚶♂️🌿 Walking on the dew on the grass in the morning, watching the stars in the sky at night. Walking alone is also dating the earth alone. // 清晨踏着草上的露水，夜晚看着天上的星星。一个人走路也是和地球单独约会。 Qīngchén tàzhe cǎo shàng de lùshuǐ, yèwǎn kànzhe tiānshàng de xīngxīng. Yīgè rén zǒulù yěshì hé dìqiú dāndú yuēhuì. // Thanh thần […]
🌅🕰️🧠 When you are young, you think there are answers to everything, but when you are old, you may feel that there is no such answer in life. // 当你年轻时，以为什么都有答案，可是老了的时候，你可能又觉得其实人生并没有所谓的答案。 Dāng nǐ niánqīng shí, yǐ wéi shén me dōu yǒu dá’àn, kěshì lǎole de shíhòu, nǐ kěnéng yòu juédé qíshí rénshēng bìng méiyǒu suǒwèi de […]
🌤️💫🌈 The sky is free, because the sky has no boundary and no limit. “Freedom” is always clean and pure, while “bondage” is just the opposite. // 天空是自由的，源于天空没有界，也没有限。“自由”往往干净且纯粹，“束缚”恰恰相反。 Tiānkōng shì zìyóu de, yuán yú tiānkōng méiyǒu jiè, yě méiyǒu xiàn. “Zìyóu” wǎngwǎng gānjìng qiě chúncuì, “shùfù” qiàqià xiāngfǎn. // Thiên không thị tự do đích, […]
