Good rain knows the season, when spring happens. Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.

Lyrics: Yin Xiangtao. >>>More
In spring, you walked through the south of the Yangtze River, and the warblers in the south of the Yangtze River flew and the grass grew, and the flowers were purple and red; You go to Saibei, the wind is smooth, and the ice and snow melt; You breathe softly, and the fragrant breath burrows into my dreams; You run slowly, and the light gesture touches the end of my pen. Now, you're whistling at us. >>>More
I love the little river in my hometown.
I yearn for the boundless and magnificent sea; Praise the Yangtze River that "crashes on the shore and rolls up thousands of piles of snow". But I love the river that flows day and night in my hometown. The scenery varies throughout the year, and it is very charming. >>>More
