家 Family

Family

在家门口,有很多花儿,有的大,有的小。

There are many flowers at the doorstep, some are big and some are small.

爸爸是蓝色的花儿,又高又长。

Dad is a blue flower, tall and long.

妈妈是黄色的花儿,也是好看的星星。

Mom is a yellow flower and also a beautiful star.

弟弟是最矮的花儿,还在成长中,春天以后,他一定长得很快。

The younger brother is the shortest flower and is still growing. After spring, he will definitely grow quickly.

我是绿色的花儿,慢慢地向天空说,你好。

I am a green flower, slowly saying hello to the sky.

如果下雪了,我会带你去看花儿。

If it snows, I will take you to see the flowers.

如果下雪了,很冷的时候,一年中的冬天,我家门口也很美好,我们一起向东看。

If it snows and it's very cold during the winter of the year, my home entrance is also very beautiful, and we look east together.

家在,我们在。

Home is where we are.

我们在一起,就是家。

Being together is home.

有个理想叫成就。

There is an ideal called achievement.

A Dream of Achievement

A Dream of Achievement

当上男班长后,我的能力怎么跟别人一样,都半斤八两呢?

After becoming the male class leader, how can my abilities be the same as others, both equally mediocre?

班长不常是第一名,大家所说的人才吗?

Is the class monitor not often the first in class, someone everyone refers to as a talent?

我比别人用心。

I put in more effort than others.

怎么个个可到国外读书上课,我只能在本国上大学呢?

Why can everyone study abroad while I can only attend university in my own country?

我有理想,想进入出国的大门,北京,英国都行,体会去外国的心情,想马上飞到国外,在冬天穿身冷衣看雪花,秋天穿秋裤做热气球,夏天穿短裙吃果实,春天穿新衣听毛毛雨声。

I have ambitions and want to enter the door of going abroad, whether it's Beijing or the UK. I want to experience the feelings of being in a foreign country. I want to fly abroad right away, wearing cold clothes in winter while watching snowflakes, wearing thermal pants in autumn while taking a hot air balloon ride, wearing a short skirt in summer while eating fruits, and wearing new clothes in spring while listening to the sound of drizzle.

我真想去国外。

I really want to go abroad.

我真想出国,和其他人在同起点出发。

I really want to go abroad and start from the same starting line as others.

谁知,在跑道上,我还差得远,无法和他们那样快。

Who would have known, on the runway, I was still far from it and couldn't run as fast as they did.

学业不好,是我对不起学校和教师,没成就,是我对不起爸爸和妈妈。

Poor academic performance is my apology to the school and teachers, and my lack of achievements is my apology to my dad and mom.

爸爸妈妈每天早出晚回,做生意,只为赚几块零,

Mom and Dad leave early and return late every day, doing business just to earn a few bucks.

让我上最好的大学。

Let me attend the best university.

现今,拐卖又网注千万个女孩和老少,动手打老百姓的不法分子,年年无收入的行业,工作没钱拿的员工太多,是因为没有成就才如此。

Nowadays, trafficking has ensnared millions of girls and people of all ages, and the lawbreakers who harm the public have no income in their industry year after year. There are too many employees who earn no money because they lack achievements.

天空蓝,高山绿,花儿红,江河黄。

The sky is blue, the mountains are green, the flowers are red, and the rivers are yellow.

大自然都能有理想中的颜色,那我呢?

If nature can have its ideal colors, then what about me?

大海让鱼儿放心地游泳,给小船道路,星月给人信心和平,为什么我不如大海和星月一样,带给我家人一点欢喜,一点成就?

The sea allows the fish to swim peacefully, gives a path to small boats, and the stars and moon provide people with confidence and peace. Why can't I be like the sea and the stars, bringing a little joy and a little achievement to my family?

到头来,我就是个没用的东西。

In the end, I am just a useless thing.

到处都没机会,我人生如一条直往很黑的道路,本想要加点颜色,如美美的只给贵客用的写字楼。

There are no opportunities anywhere; my life feels like a straight road heading into darkness. I originally wanted to add some color, like a beautiful office building reserved for distinguished guests.

饿了,先开口吃些方便面,白饭包,喝着水,多次谢过被问东问西的客人,心想,我是如此矮人一等。

I'm hungry, so I'll start by eating some instant noodles, white rice buns, and drinking water. I have thanked the guests who have asked me so many questions several times, thinking to myself, I feel so inferior.

别人能从零,向一二三四步步往前走,已经走过五六七八,直到九十。

Others can start from zero and make progress step by step to one, two, three, four, and have already walked through five, six, seven, eight, all the way to nine and ten.

别人可买汽车,电话,住家,可以和姐弟哥妹过着快乐的日子。

Others can buy cars, phones, and homes, and can live happy lives with their siblings.

只是成就不是定价贵不贵,手里再有钱也不能在哪儿买到。

It's not about the price of the achievement; no matter how much money you have, you can't buy it anywhere.

全是自己玩的。

All played by myself.

完成理想事后,才已得到的。

Only after completing an ideal can it be obtained.

请把出国的心思找回来吧。

Please find your desire to go abroad again.

昨天过了,今天到了,明天来了。

Yesterday has passed, today has arrived, tomorrow is coming.

短期间,我从一场空坐到了上下左右都是贵客的华文写字楼。

In a short period, I went from sitting alone to being surrounded by esteemed guests in a Chinese writing office.

早上如小河东去,下午如南部热情。

In the morning like a small river flowing east, in the afternoon like the warmth of the south.

晚上如店家。

The store is open at night.

早上如店家。

Good morning, like a shopkeeper.

总之,我、你、他,是时候得到成就了。

In short, it is time for me, you, and him to achieve success.

水手的画别

The Sailor's Farewell

海里很冷,是昨天的画别。

It's very cold in the sea, it's a farewell to yesterday's painting.

山不见了,星在远飞。

The mountain is gone, the stars are flying far away.

船在左,船在右。

The boat is on the left, the boat is on the right.

来时的路,一点一点,早看不见。

The path I took here, little by little, is no longer visible.

前方的雨,毛毛的下,穿过春夏秋冬。

The rain ahead falls lightly, passing through spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

给我女儿的信

A letter to my daughter.

Letter to my daughter

Letter to my daughter

在中国,所有的爸爸都是不同的。

In China, all dads are different.

有些爸爸,

Some dads,

天天加班,还在很远的地方工作,所以经常不在家里。

Working overtime every day and at a place far away, so I am often not at home.

还有很多爸爸,他们天天跟孩子在一起。

There are many dads who are with their children every day.

还有些爸爸,孩子出生以后,他们每年只和孩子见一次面。

Some fathers only see their children once a year after they are born.

可是,还有一些爸爸,

However, there are still some dads,

在你出生七年,

Seven years after your birth,

三年后才进入你的日子里。

It will be three years before I enter your life.

有时候想,这不理想,也不平等,不过有意思的是,你可以有两个爸爸,可能有些人有三个爸爸,四个爸爸也可以。

Sometimes I think that this is not ideal and not fair, but interestingly, you can have two dads, and some people might even have three dads or four dads.

你的同学已经说了,你爸爸是一个外国人,怎么可能?

Your classmate already said that your dad is a foreigner, how is that possible?

你现在已经快十一了。

It's almost eleven for you now.

你的新爸爸,我,只在中国住了三年,可是他会说中文。

Your new dad, me, has only lived in China for three years, but he can speak Chinese.

我跟你见面之前,我就一个人住。

Before I met you, I lived alone.

我住在中国,没有自己的家人在身边。

I live in China and do not have my family around me.

是你,让我加入中国的文明。

It is you who allowed me to join the civilization of China.

自己,因为有你,还有你妈妈,我有动力给你最好的我,我想要你快乐,开心地长大,你知道你有妈妈和我,可能你不把我当你爸爸,可能你真的把我当你的爸爸,都可以。

Because of you and your mom, I am motivated to give you the best of me. I want you to be happy and grow up joyfully. You know you have both your mom and me. It’s okay if you don’t see me as your dad, or if you truly see me as your dad.

因为我一直会把你当我的女儿。

Because I will always consider you my daughter.

自信

Confidence

又到一个新学期,老师让我们想一想自己的过往,每年我都会想到自信。

A new semester has arrived, and the teacher asked us to reflect on our past. Every year, I think about confidence.

其实,我和同学很多方面都半斤八两。

Actually, in many aspects, my classmates and I are pretty much the same.

可我就少了点自信。

But I lack a bit of confidence.

我就是花儿,有时颜色多样,有时平平的,有时喜喜气气,有时无声无气。

I am like a flower, sometimes vibrant in color, sometimes plain, sometimes cheerful, and sometimes quiet and subdued.

夏天就是我自自信信的时候,甜美美的,小于自自在在。

Summer is the time when I am confident, sweet, and at ease.

大马快快乐乐,所有东西都欢欢喜。

May Malaysia be filled with joy, and may everything be happy.

可是,现在就只能左左右右,无声地看着自己身边的东西,没法出声。

But now, I can only look silently at the things around me, unable to make a sound.

从小,爸爸妈妈就跟我说,做人一定要有自信。

Since I was young, my parents have told me that one must have self-confidence in life.

我一直以为,只要在学校主动一点,就是有自信的意思。

I always thought that being proactive in school meant having confidence.

可是,这只是自信的意思。

However, this is only the meaning of confidence.

做人不要太听别人,做自己,每个人都会有自己的想法。

Don't listen too much to others when being yourself; everyone has their own thoughts.

别人和自己不一样,没有人比你明白自己。

Others are different from you; no one understands you better than yourself.

要有自信的第一步,就是要信自己,还有要有主见。

The first step to having confidence is to believe in yourself and to have your own opinions.

想有自信,就不要太信自己。

If you want to have confidence, don't trust yourself too much.

想有多点自信的话,可以多读读不同的书,多看点时事,明白身边的事情,这样,人走出来,会自信多了。

If you want to have more confidence, you can read more different books, pay attention to current events, and understand the things around you. This way, when you step out, you will be much more self-assured.

理想

Ideal

理想是无边的太空。

The ideal is an endless space.

远看明星,带你到一个可以看见理想的方向。

From a distance, stars guide you to a direction where you can see your ideals.

理想是小船,在海中游动,没有左右。

The ideal is a small boat, moving in the sea, without left or right.

于尔说,再前进。

Yue Er said, move forward again.

向着理想。

Towards the ideal.

理想是马儿,飞过大江,高山,穿过春夏秋冬,跑向理想。

The ideal is like a horse, galloping over rivers and mountains, passing through the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, racing towards the dream.

妈妈的等候

Mother's Wait

今年春天,天下着雨。

It rained this spring.

妈妈的等候

Mother's waiting

心想,外面还这么冷,孩儿们能快点回家吗?

Thinking to myself, it's still so cold outside, can the children come home soon?

已经放学一些时间了,他们还好吗?

It has been a while since school has ended, are they doing okay?

我一直在家里打点,等着他们回来吃点心。

I have been tidying up at home, waiting for them to come back and have some snacks.

我一边做家事,一边看着小鱼。

I watch the little fish while doing household chores.

天这么冷,他们有没有事?

It's so cold, are they okay?

妈妈的等候

Mother's wait

不过,理想不是现实,我一直想着他们,等到我都累了,孩儿们还没回家。

However, ideals are not reality. I kept thinking about them, and by the time I was exhausted, the children still hadn't come home.

他们是去海边看鱼了吗?还是找不到回家的路了呢?

Are they going to the seaside to see the fish? Or are they unable to find their way home?

我心里想着种种的可能,想着最差的想法,想着他们。

I am thinking about all kinds of possibilities, considering the worst scenarios, thinking about them.

他们是去海边看鱼了吗?还是找不到回家的路了吗?

Are they going to the beach to see the fish? Or can't they find their way home?

我心里想着种种的可能,想着最差的想法,想着最差的想法,想着最差的想法。

I keep thinking about various possibilities, contemplating the worst scenarios, thinking about the worst scenarios, thinking about the worst scenarios.

他们是去海边看鱼了吗?还是找不到回家的路了吗?

Are they going to the beach to see the fish? Or did they get lost on the way home?

我心里想着种种的可能,想着最差的想法,想着最差的想法。

I was thinking of various possibilities, considering the worst thoughts, and imagining the worst scenarios.

他们是去海边看鱼了吗?还是找不到回家的路了吗?

Are they going to the beach to see fish? Or could they not find their way home?

好了好了,可能是我想多了。

Okay, okay, maybe I was overthinking it.

我对自己说道。

I said to myself.

一下子,我听到姐姐、弟弟和妹妹的叫声,他们在门前叫着。

Suddenly, I heard the voices of my sister, brother, and younger sister calling out front of the door.

我听到他们回家便放心了。

I felt relieved when I heard they went home.

他们说,

They said,

妈妈,我们去河边看书写信,给全班写,写了两个小时。

Mom, we went to the riverbank to read and write letters to the whole class, and we wrote for two hours.

你们一定很饿了,我给你们做点心吃吧。

You must be very hungry, let me make you some snacks.

你们写信写了两个小时,一定也很累了。

You have been writing letters for two hours, you must be really tired.

我一会儿就去做饭,吃完饭后就等爸爸回来,就一起到楼下去跑步吧。

I'll go make dinner in a bit. After we finish eating, we'll wait for Dad to come back, and then we'll go downstairs to run together.

孩子们快乐地吃点心,喝水,之后,他们坐在门外,看着红色和黄色的花儿,等着爸爸回家。

The children joyfully ate snacks and drank water. After that, they sat outside the door, looking at the red and yellow flowers, waiting for Dad to come home.

秋天到,红花儿干了,黄花儿也谢了。

Autumn has arrived, the red flowers have withered, and the yellow flowers have also faded.

全球游子四千里。

Four thousand miles of global wanderers.

秋冷的星月也明了。

The autumn's cold stars and moon are also bright.

谁家的哥哥姐姐大声叫,可请明月带着我们回家。

Whose older brother or sister is calling loudly, could you please let the bright moon take us home?

如今冬又回。

Now winter has returned.

绿色大地已成雪。

The green earth has turned to snow.

白白雪花处处飞。

The river at the foot of the mountain is very long, becoming a playground for thousands of fish.

一早一晚,百万家口一起欢乐,总在水中游来游去。

Every morning and evening, millions of households rejoice together, constantly swimming back and forth in the water.

可是,家里每条鱼还有鱼。

However, there is still fish in every fish at home.

还有自己的工作。

Also has their own job.

不只是说话和游泳。

Not just talking and swimming.

比如,爸爸要卖衣赚钱,妈妈要找东西吃。

For example, Dad wants to sell clothes to make money, and Mom wants to find something to eat.

哥哥和姐姐跟往常一样,每天下午都要去上学。

Brother and sister go to school every afternoon as usual.

只有弟弟和妹妹能全天坐在那儿,看着几千条五颜六色的鱼。

Only the younger brother and sister can sit there all day, watching thousands of colorful fish.

我明白了,我们一家人在一起时,就会快乐。

I understand that when our family is together, we will be happy.

到花店的一天

A day at the flower shop.

A day at the florist

A day at the florist

下课后,姐姐带着弟弟到花店给妈妈买花。

After class, my sister took my brother to the flower shop to buy flowers for mom.

花店地点很好,人来人往,价钱便宜,所以姐姐和弟弟都喜欢这间店。

The flower shop is located in a great spot, bustling with people, and the prices are cheap, so both my sister and brother like this shop.

走进店里,一个中年男人在打点店里的东西。

As I walked into the store, a middle-aged man was tidying up the things in the shop.

姐姐到处找妈妈喜欢的颜色。

Sister is looking everywhere for Mom's favorite color.

弟弟问姐姐。

The younger brother asks his older sister.

妈妈喜欢什么颜色?

What color does mom like?

是蓝色吗?

Is it blue?

姐姐说。

Sister said.

不是,再想想。

No, think again.

弟弟又问。

Younger brother asked again.

是红色吗?

Is it red?

姐姐说。

Sister said.

是黄色。

It is yellow.

可是,姐弟两个找不到黄色的花儿,只好问店主有什么好看的花。

However, the siblings couldn't find any yellow flowers, so they had to ask the shopkeeper what beautiful flowers were available.

店主说。

The shop owner said.

新到的七里花,大家都很喜欢,价钱便宜,可以买给你妈妈。

The newly arrived seven-mile flowers are loved by everyone, and the price is cheap, so you can buy them for your mom.

弟弟问姐姐。

The younger brother asks his older sister.

妈妈会喜欢吗?

Will mom like it?

因为这不是她喜欢的黄色,这种花儿是白色的。

Because this is not the yellow she likes, this flower is white.

姐姐说。

Sister said.

妈妈知道我们的心意后,她一定会喜欢的。

Mom will definitely like it once she understands our intentions.

店主听见他们的对话后,便二话不说把七里花放在姐弟们的手中。

After hearing their conversation, the shopkeeper silently placed the Qili flower in the hands of the siblings.

然后,姐弟便快快乐乐回家去了。

Then, the siblings happily went home.

回家时,他们把花儿放在身后,不想让妈妈发现。

On the way home, they hid the flowers behind them, not wanting their mom to find out.

是时候了,姐姐说要给妈妈一个东西。

It's time, my sister said we need to give mom something.

妈妈问。

Mom asks.

是什么东西?

What is it?

好想是白色的,又美美的。

I really want it to be white and beautiful.

姐姐说。

Sister said.

先不说,你一定会喜欢的。

Let's not talk about it for now; you will definitely like it.

弟弟马上把花儿拿到妈妈面前。

The younger brother quickly brought the flowers in front of mom.

妈妈开心地说。

Mom said happily.

如果你们每天都这样听话,就好啦。

If you all behave this way every day, that would be great.

白马

White horse

在很远很远的地方,住着一家人。

In a very distant place, there lived a family.

有爸爸,妈妈,哥哥和妹妹。

There is a dad, mom, older brother, and younger sister.

他们没有钱,家很小,家里的东西也不多,只有一头好看的白马。

They have no money, their house is very small, and there aren't many things at home, only a pretty white horse.

两个孩子都很喜欢。

Both children like it very much.

两个孩子都很喜欢这头白马。

Both children really like this white horse.

这家人真的没有钱,不过他们都很快乐。

This family really has no money, but they are all very happy.

他们住在河边。

They live by the river.

河里蓝色的水很好喝。

The blue water in the river tastes great.

河里白色的鱼很好吃。

The white fish in the river is very delicious.

住在这里让他们都很开心。

Living here makes them all very happy.

每天早上,爸爸起来以后,就出门去走走。

Every morning, after dad gets up, he goes out for a walk.

他想去河边游泳。

He wants to go swimming by the river.

可是,走路的时候,他发现天气很不一样。

However, while walking, he noticed that the weather was very different.

今天真的太热了。

It's really hot today.

从这天起,天天都很热。

From this day on, it has been very hot every day.

春天,夏天,秋天都太热。

Spring, summer, and autumn are all too hot.

没有下雨。

It didn't rain.

冬天也太热。

It's too hot in winter.

没下雨,当然也没下雪。

It didn't rain, and of course, it didn't snow either.

因为没下雨,河里的水太少。

Because it hasn't rained, there is too little water in the river.

因为河里的水太少,河里的鱼也很少。

Because there is too little water in the river, there are also very few fish in the river.

最后,河里的水和鱼都没有了。

In the end, both the water and the fish in the river are gone.

家人们都不知道,

The family members don't know.

不知道可以做什么,

I don't know what can be done.

也不知道可以吃什么。

I don't know what I can eat.

然后,爸爸很不开心地说,

Then, Dad said unhappily,

对不起,我们只有一个方法,

I'm sorry, we only have one way.

我们只好吃我们的白马,

We can only eat our white horse.

要不然,我们的日子就过不下去了。

Otherwise, we won't be able to carry on with our lives.

哥哥和妹妹马上说,

The brother and sister immediately said,

不行,不行,

No, no.

我们不能吃我们的白马。

We cannot eat our white horse.

因为孩子们都那么不开心,

Because the children are all so unhappy,

所以爸爸妈妈同意放走白马。

So dad and mom agreed to let the white horse go.

没想到,在爸爸妈妈放走白马的时候,

I didn't expect that when Mom and Dad let the white horse go,

白马看起来不要自己走开的样子。

The white horse doesn't seem to want to walk away by itself.

他们等了很长时间,

They waited a long time.

可是白马还不走。

But the white horse still doesn't leave.

看样子,白马是在等着他们,

It seems that the white horse is waiting for them.

要他们一起走。

Let them go together.

最后,四个人跟着白马一起走。

In the end, the four people walked together with the white horse.

一家人跟着白马走了很远。

A family followed the white horse for a long way.

他们每次想要回头时,

Every time they want to turn back,

白马都不让他们回去。

The white horse doesn't let them go back.

白马一直带着他们往前走。

The white horse kept moving forward with them.

他们经过大山,

They passed through the mountains.

他们经过小山,

They passed by the small hill.

他们往上走,

They are going up.

他们往下走。

They walked down.

四个人和白马都很累。

The four people and the white horse are all very tired.

三天以后,

Three days later,

爸爸,妈妈,哥哥和妹妹都快走不动了。

Dad, Mom, my older brother, and younger sister can hardly walk anymore.

这个时候,他们发现,

At this time, they discovered that,

在这个地方天气不热。

The weather is not hot in this place.

他们也看到,

They also saw,

前面有一条大河,

There is a big river ahead.

河里有蓝色的水,

The river has blue water.

也有很多白色的鱼。

There are also many white fish.

太好了,

Great!

白马带他们来到新的家。

The white horse took them to their new home.

从此,

From then on,

一家人和他们的白马,

A family and their white horse.

一直住在这里,

I've been living here all along.

很快乐。

便在左右坐着等候。

看着毛孩跑来跑去,

Watching the furry child run around,

所有不快乐的事,

There's no need to think about it anymore.

The rain has been falling continuously.

如同在说话,

It's like talking.

从来没听过,

I've never heard of it.

雨声很好听,

The sound of the rain is very美丽.

如在说心事,

It’s like talking about secrets.

可我不开心,

But I'm not happy.

今天的不快,

Today's unhappiness,

跟着雨走了,

Follow the rain.

快乐便来了,

Happiness then comes.

因为,

Because,

雨走了。

The rain has gone.

365天

穿上红衣,

Put on the red clothes,

爸爸写信,

Dad writes a letter.

年后回来。

Come back after the New Year.

春去夏来,

Spring leaves and summer arrives.

坐在江边,

Sitting by the river.

看着蓝天,

Looking at the blue sky,

爸爸出差,

Dad is on a business trip.

不能回来。

Cannot return.

夏去秋来,

Summer goes, autumn comes.

穿上毛衣,

Waiting for the meal.

红山花

慢慢地来到中国北部的山,

Slowly arrive at the mountains in northern China.

我就看到自然,

I just see nature.

高高又好看的身体,

A tall and good-looking body.

这是我第一次看到北部的山。

This is the first time I have seen the mountains in the north.

自然怎么让我小了?

How has nature made me smaller?

秋天把我放在它冷冷的手里,

Autumn places me in its cold hands,

初生叫我来山上。

Just after birth, call me to the mountain.

我走上山的时候,

When I walked up the mountain,

天中的红日也在走回家。

The red sun in the sky is also heading home.

我坐在地上,

I sit on the ground,

看着自然,

Looking at nature,

有山有水。

There are mountains and rivers.

我在山上小住五天,

I stayed on the mountain for five days.

住在自然的叫声里,

Living in the calls of nature,

有跑步跑得很快的河,

There is a river that flows very quickly.

和很喜欢游泳的鱼。

And a fish that loves to swim.

我种红色的花,

I plant red flowers.

看到远处的一个老人,

I saw an old man in the distance.

在看一本老书,

I am reading an old book.

他也看着我,

He is also looking at me.

很快乐。

Very happy.

年晚了,

The year is coming to an end.

我走了,

I'm leaving.

很少想起来河跟山的美,

Rarely think of the beauty of rivers and mountains.

回家了,

I'm home.

也没有再去想红色的花和老人。

I didn't think about the red flowers and the old man anymore.

多年后,

Many years later,

我再次来到山上,

I returned to the mountain once again.

我头发白了,

My hair has turned white.

身体很累,

The body is very tired.

鱼不见了,

The fish is gone.

河水干了,

The river has dried up.

我种的花已经老了。

The flowers I planted are already old.

那本老书放在地上,

That old book is placed on the ground.

我拿起书,

I picked up the book.

读了读,

Read it.

这时,

At this moment,

在远处,

In the distance,

看到一个小男孩,

I saw a little boy.

他年少的快乐,

His youthful happiness,

让自然生长。

Let nature grow.

又有游泳的鱼,

There are fish swimming again.

河水又跑步了,

The river has started to run again.

冬天成春天,

Winter becomes spring.

新人新气起来了,

New people bring new energy.

小男孩种起红色的花,

The little boy planted red flowers.

我看着他,

I looked at him,

很快乐,

Very happy,

想到,

Thinking of,

第一次去好看的山上。

The first time going to a beautiful mountain.

The black side woman wrote about the blue letter of the red side.

晚间雪花渐蓝颜,欢心喜意已了然。

As the evening snowflakes turn blue, joy and happiness are clearly understood.

你我年方二八,心向远方,回看当年日短情长。

You and I are both in our twenties, our hearts longing for the distant horizon, looking back at the days when time was short and feelings were deep.

一直信,万家和平会,万里也不远。

Always believe, the Peace Association of thousands of families, is not far even if it's miles away.

可,你我此去再无情,怎回到快乐人间?

But you and I will have no feelings when we leave, how can we return to the joyful world?

知天下黑白,可有气无力,今生不再同一天地。

Knowing the darkness and light of the world, one may have the spirit but lack the strength, and in this lifetime, never share the same heaven and earth again.

Thinking of the past, aspiring to succeed early, wholeheartedly, returning to your side, meeting the senior again, no others, youthful confidants, opening the heart, long-haired girl, still pleasant.
