What is the year?
Nian is a strange and familiar taste.
Nian is the ancient well of my hometown,
Sweet and mellow, like fine wine;
The year is the hometown of the bay of Zhenshui,
Endless thoughts of hometown;
The year is the wisp of cooking smoke at dusk,
After years of parting, I still have a dream.
