論振興鄉村 – LYJ 且行且珍惜

 

粉飾塗牆說振興，空村孤柳對秋蓬。

家山一念成塵事，枝上老鴉正怨聲。

 

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.
