Father leaning against a dirt wall and looking at the threshing floor
people chatting.They folded their arms, bent their arms
Pointing in the direction of the irrigation river.
Toiled all day, now he remembers
He is not a farmer.
The more he knew this, the harder he worked
The more he works, the more he wants to hear those people compliment him
Said that he is really good at planting crops and knows how to grow crops
Scientific farming.The mud on the calf dried into
Blooming mildew, he stood, alternately
Rub your feet back and forth.But he doesn't go,
just smile at them, just let them
feel the slow flow of sunlight on his face
let me his son
See him like the tallest ear of wheat,
Golden, full, let me understand at once
i am a lucky man
His children, not theirs.
Father standing against an earthen wall, tiredness is a secret
No one noticed, at the moment his dependence on the wall

The sunshine of the harvest season has been covered in patches
mowed down, and the moon has been sent into the granary;
Father put down the notched sickle, put the straw hat
hang on the wall

Winter is the tractor waiting at the head of the village.
I heard it before, said the grandmother,
Coming from a dirt road, bumping
Dad, how long are we going to live here?
Not long, not long, just live for a lifetime.
Father drank a bowl of barley tea and put the last
A little, poured into the smoking ground
With a few grains of wheat chewing in his mouth, the
A few bright wrinkles appear in the land

On the embankment, my father is walking
1937-1967, I was his greatest achievement
Habits reproached become villages
The background at dinner time, from far to near.
"He'll be hungry, hungrier at night,
People who drink porridge talk about digestion? "
On the villager's low wooden table, he circled
The only bowl of pickles for a walk
Every now and then, look up at the sky.
They talked and the day passed
In the night, I can no longer see the walking
way, can only see
The distribution of moonlight on the embankment was changed arbitrarily.

Bamboo projection in the afternoon, in the wind
Swept in a heap in a small clearing in the woods.
It won't be shipped just yet, but it will be sooner or later.
A child in the woods,
appearing and disappearing in the air,
he is waiting for his father
A line of text, among the bamboos, goes around
At the speed of a march, to appease
A Rebellion in the Kingdom of Poetry
Now, he took out a small mirror.
In the distance, you can see the bamboo forest
harsh reflections
Father—a word of my choosing.
A word in isolation that has been
all this afternoon
Sunday morning, Ding Dong
start knocking on this rock
There is nothing else to do.every time
Hit with the same force.
Stones don't sing like birds,
Ding Dang probably doesn't think so, he
Go on, beat on.
Maybe the stones will bleed, boundless
smear morning into afternoon,
paint afternoon into night, but
Ding Dang definitely doesn't think so,
He just put his head down and tapped.
It's really worrying, is it going to hit
when.jingle
Don't care, he's still, beating.
Several times I thought I was going to stop, but
Still, banging.
secret blood, crazy blood
From his mother's distant body,
chase him along the way
Ding Dang didn't notice, or didn't want to know
he beat until the moon
From that rock, bouncing,
Beads of sweat also rise into the sky and become stars
this sunday is over
