In exile, I walked everywhere, unable to find the end of the world. But a friend’s smile brings peace— stillness like water in an ancient well, strength like bamboo in the autumn. We said goodbye on a moonlit night, and I set sail alone under clouds. No need to be sad; we’re still friends. Life is a journey, and I must be a traveler.
一别都门三改火,天涯踏尽红尘。 依然一笑作春温。 无波真古井,有节是秋筠。 惆怅孤帆连夜发,送行淡月微云。 尊前不用翠眉颦。 人生如逆旅,我亦是行人。
