Pems frm Tang and Sng dynasties, peras frm Yuan dynasty, and nvels frm Ming and Qing dynasties are very famus in China’s histry. Tday, I’d like t recmmend Sng f Autumn, ne f the pems by Liu Yuxi(772-842), a famus pet and writer in the mid Tang dynasty.
Just as shwn in the first line f the pem, mst ancient pets liked t describe autumn as a sad time, but in this pem the seasn appears differently. In Liu’s eyes, autumn, full f life and hpe, is even better than spring mrning. He describes the bright scene f a crane riding the cluds and flying int the blue sky.
With his pems paying special attentin t expressing persnal feelings, as well as the daily life f cmmn peple, Liu wrte pems with beautiful music-like wrds. Yu may feel it in this pem. Thugh being translated thughtfully by experienced Xu Yuanchng, the pem still reads nt s beautifully as that in Chinese. I persnally think that English is smetimes nt s pwerful as Chinese.

Hwever, it als shws hw he was pleased with the pr and simple life. Peple may find it strange that ne can feel happy living in such a humble cell. Learning frm his famus sentence, “be fragrant because f my virtues”(斯是陋室, 惟吾德馨), I think t be a respectable man is mre imprtant than t live in big huses, t wear beautiful clthes, t enjy delicius fd, and even t gain knwledge.

Dear Sad and Furteen,I’m s srry t hear that yu are wrried abut pimples. I’m als srry that I can’t stand beside yu t share yur stress. At first, yu shuld knw that getting pimples is quite nrmal in yur age. Cngratulatins! It shws that yu have grwn up. Secndly, yu dn’t need t care t much. Yu can tell yur classmates yur prblem directly and I think they will understand yu. Thirdly, if yu pay mre attentin t ther things, like studying r utdr activities, maybe yu will find mre fun. What’s mre, yu can ask the dctrs fr sme medicine. I hpe things will wrk ut and everything will be better fr yu sn.
