Bees by Luo Ying
No matter whether in the valley or the hills,
Without limit all air and light, occupied.
Sucking flowers by the hundreds, afterward transformed into honey:
For whom do you toil? For whom this sweetness?
Luo Ying changed his name from Luo Huen, 'huen' means rude and unreasonable. Because he was very ugly, proud, and made sarcastic comments to people, no one liked him. 'Ying' means low-key, hidden. He took his society exams ten times and failed each time. Finally he became a municipal officer and did the people much good.
My mom taught me the saying: chien ren zong shu; hou ren cen liang.
Former people plant trees; later people enjoy the shade and cool.
Jianghu Cherry Blossom
No. 1
Spring cherries in peak bloom, flowing hued clouds.
Jiang City, dotted in colors, a million houses.
Several trees, dazzling crystal, as if covered in jade snow.*
This part's grace and beauty is like the plum flower. **
*a few trees had white flowers, these few trees were in front of an elementary school
**the plum flower is my country's flower, when you stay in a foreign country, you think about home
