Mid Autumn Festival Eve

Lift your head to look at the moon*
Just at mid-autumn, the perfect festival.
One year passes easily.
Red leaves, western wind,
Yellow chrysanthemum in full bloom.
This quiet place is lonesome,
Baseline, adding a little feeling of regret.
Deep into the night the dew grows heavy.
Cool pillow and mat make it hard to fall asleep.
Thoughts go on and on, regrets go on and on.**
When people grow old, they lose whatever desires.
Old country, hard to go back,
The pretty young foreigner has already lived at the end of the earth a long time.

*a direct quote from a poem by one of the most famous poets Li Bai
**another famous poem says: Someone went up the mountain, can't see the future or the past. Thinking about the heavens and earth goes on and on. One person stands, shedding tears.


Oranbi

Our country's fortress called Oranbi.
Outstretched to the southern ocean.
Tall lighthouse, a single spire strategically placed.
Ten-thousand nautical miles of green waves; one red light.

At the most southern point of Taiwan is Oranbi, where there is the biggest lighthouse in southeast Asia. It was constructed in 1882 and later the Japanese rebuilt it. 

*Its light could shine for 20 miles.

Note: the 'bi' in Oranbi means nose.
