Night Rain 丨 Lü Ping: Look up at the Gate of Zhenshou

Look up at the Gate of Zhenshou

Lü Ping

The Word of The Royal Gift

This opens the door of this small mountain village

It is conceivable that the Yang family had it back then

Those glories and feats

In the storm

The carvings are gone

The painted murals were blurred

But the green bricks are still there, the old tiles are still there

The heavy door was still there

Like that happy centenarian

Still watching with kind eyes

The children of the same house of five generations

Maybe the disappearing Five-Fold Hall

The courtyards connected to each other are too deep

Before the gate, they all relaxed their steps

Put your head up high and high
