Yuan Haowen - Translation

Translation

(Huangzhong: Renyueyuan)

Settling Down in My Wife’s Family Dongyuan Country Place

Layers of hills cut off the dust of the world.

In villages, rich harvest years.

I had to move here

For the peaks through my windows

And pines behind my hut.

Every tenth year pines are planted,

And every year the grain.

Those are left for the boy.

For this old man –

The bright moon after sobering up,

The clear wind after drinking.
