论振兴乡村 – LYJ 且行且珍惜

 

粉饰涂墙说振兴，空村孤柳对秋蓬。

家山一念成尘事，枝上老鸦正怨声。

 

On Reviving Rural Regions by LYJ (Teacher Liang)

 

Though “Tri-R” is graffitied on the village wall,

Poor willows see ghost villages rise beyond recall.   

Alas, “Hometown” - such a nice nostalgia seems cliché,

Ah, hark, old crows on the lonely twigs cry in brawl.
