The distant place has nothing but distance itself

Far Away Yet Empty

🌄🚶‍♂️💭 The distant place has nothing but distance itself. // 远方除了遥远一无所有。 Yuǎnfāng chúle yáoyuǎn yīwúsuǒyǒu. // Viễn phương trừ liễu diêu viễn nhất vô sở hữu. // Phương xa trừ xa xôi ra thì không có gì cả. P.s.: Picture taken in Changpinggou Valley (Changpinggou), Mt. Siguniang (Four Maiden’s Mountain or Skubla), Ngawa (Aba) Prefecture, […]

Sitting alone, mind often strays

Sitting Alone

[I’d rather be sitting here / Cũng là ngồi, nhưng muốn ngồi ở đây] 🏞️🌬️🍃 Sitting alone, mind often strays, Emotions linger, thoughts in a daze. Clouds enshroud the mountain’s base, Wind howls through the valley’s space. // 独坐常忽忽, 情怀何悠悠。 山腰云缦缦, 谷口风飕飕。 Dú zuò cháng hūhū, Qínghuái hé yōuyōu. Shānyāo yún màn màn, Gǔkǒu fēng […]

It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out

Inner Obstacles

🏔️👟😓 Ce n’est pas la montagne à gravir qui vous fera abandonner, c’est le caillou dans votre chaussure. // It isn’t the mountain ahead that wears you out; it is the grain of sand in your shoe. // 使人疲惫的不是远方的高山,而是鞋里的一粒沙子。 Shǐ rén píbèi de bùshì yuǎnfāng de gāoshān, ér shì xié lǐ de yī lì shāzi. […]

Rise and fall outside the mountain

Mountain Life

🏞️🌲🌾 Rise and fall outside the mountain, Those in the mountain don’t know. In the past year, There’s nothing to worry about. So people in the mountain, Live well into old age. They’re willing to eat pine flowers and cypress seeds, Old people return here for peace. // 山外兴与废, 山中皆不知。 算来一年中, 所忧无一时。 所以山中人, 人人皆其颐。 松花柏子肯许食, […]

The road is tough, not because of water or mountains

Human Connections

🚶‍♂️🌊🏔️ The road is tough, not because of water or mountains, but because of the ever-changing nature of human relationships. // 行路难,不在水,不在山,只在人情反覆间。 Xínglù nán, bùzài shuǐ, bùzài shān, zhǐ zài rénqíng fǎnfù jiān. // Hành lộ nan, bất tại thủy, bất tại sơn, chỉ tại nhân tình phản phúc gian. // Đường đi khó, không […]

One day I won't love you

Love And Loss

💔👗🌧️ One day I won’t love you, I’ll go far away, Wearing a dress You’ve never seen before. I’ll bring a smile, Brightened by another’s kiss, Sharing the sorrow Under a different rain. The happiness and sadness you’ve never had… // Có một ngày em không yêu anh Em đi thật xa Và mặc chiếc […]

My home basks in golden light

My home basks in golden light, Where the stream spills over stones so bright. The forest breathes summer perfume, As the winding path leads us home. // Nhà em giữa nắng vàng Con suối tràn bờ đá Hương rừng thơm mùa hạ Đường chiều về quanh co. P.s.: Picture taken in Changpinggou Valley (Changpinggou), Mt. […]

It sounds like love is like a cup of iced black coffee

Milk Tea

☕️💔😅 It sounds like love is like a cup of iced black coffee: If you’re black, you get dumped, that’s all. Fortunately, I only drink milk tea. // Nghe đâu tình yêu giống như một ly cafe đen đá vậy: Bạn đen thì bạn bị đá, thế thôi. Cũng may mình chỉ uống trà sữa. […]
