The full poem: Flowers blossom and fall without regret, fate comes and goes like water.
Flowering is a blossoming of the flower, and the flower is a sorrow of the flower.
Flower sadness is flower tears, flower tears are broken flowers.
Flowers dance as tears, flowers cry as petals fly.
For whom the flowers bloom, for whom the flowers are sad.
From: "Broken Flowers"
Author: Li Qingzhao
Meaning: Flowers bloom and wither and never regret it; Butterflies are intoxicated for the sake of flower petals, but the petals go far away with the wind; Petals leave the flowers with tears, and the flowers weep for the sake of petals leaving; Flowers bloom, but they don't know for whom they will wither, and they don't know for whom they will grieve when their petals wither!
