Care about each other with one heart, a wisp of affection. Time flies, silver hair and thin temples.
If the ghost is on another road, Xianfu should be sad. If you want to laugh, it's only after a brief encounter.
Vernacular translation:
We always care about each other, and love is always reluctant. Time flies, and there are fewer sideburns on both sides.
If you don't go to a dead end, even if you reach the celestial world, it will be bleak. If you want to laugh happily, unless it's time to meet you.

About the author:
Lin Yutang (1895 65438+1October1March 26th, 976), born in Longxi, Fujian (now Zhangzhou), was originally named Lehe, later changed to Yutang, and later changed to Yutang, a famous modern writer, scholar and China.
In his early years, he studied in the United States and Germany, and obtained a master's degree in literature from Harvard University and a doctorate in linguistics from Leipzig University. After returning to China, he taught in Tsinghua University, Peking University and Xiamen University. 1945 went to Singapore to set up Nanyang University as the president. He used to be the director of fine arts and literature of UNESCO and the vice chairman of the International Pen Club.
Lin Yutang was nominated by Nobel Prize in Literature twice in 1940 and 1950. He founded the Analects of Confucius, The Life on Earth, The Wind of the Universe and other publications, and his works include the novels Smoke in Beijing and Ridiculous. Prose essays, the feast of life, the art of life, and the translation of Dongpo's poems, old lovers and six chapters of floating life.
Lin Yutang's prose covers a wide range of fields. In his view, the ideal prose "is one with natural rhythm of language, such as chatting around the stove in the rain and dusk, good at pulling, rich in emotion, harmonious, simple and easy to understand, such as talking with eminent monks about Zen, talking with celebrities, coherent and seamless, rambling, unable to stop, unable to delete, able to read what they say, and listen to what they say." ?
From the creative translation of western humor to the self-proclaimed Taoist spirit in his later years, Lin Yutang has always maintained the artistic paradigm of this conversation style, taking leisure humor as the style and transcendence as the position.
