Chapter 96 To Li Jiye①

Comrade Jiye: I am glad to hear from you that you are still interested in writing poetry. To be honest, when it comes to poetry, I am "not disrespecting the present and loving the ancients". I prefer the old-style poems, which are smooth to read and easy to recite. It has been 7 years since I injured my leg, and I can't go out behind closed doors, and I can't do things like seeing flowers and visiting friends.If you come to Beijing, please come to the house to talk, how about it?Best wishes!
