Features: While admiring the beautiful scenery, I looked up and saw that the sunset had already hidden half of its face. How quickly it was! The sunset was like a shy girl, its face flushing redder and hurriedly hiding itself. Unconsciously, only a red edge remained. At noon, the sun was like a fire pit, fiercely scorching the sea and the beach, as if it wanted to melt them. But now, it had softened and became gentle. Golden rays scattered on the sandy beach by the sea, like warm arms gently caressing them, filled with tenderness. With its magical light and color, it adorned everything around: sometimes it painted the sea in golden hues, making it appear magnificent and brilliant; sometimes it lightly smeared the white clouds with faint blush, making the originally graceful and slender cloud girls even more enchanting. Under the gentle sunlight, the beach became quieter and more peaceful, and even the usually fierce reefs seemed to have a touch of kindness. The mountain sunset was like molten rock gushing forth, like boiling and surging hot blood. Without the flashy glow of the clouds, there was only a fierce, burning crimson, like the blood flowing in the veins of the mountain people. I love the mountain sunset; it is a red dream in my innocent heart.
Famous Passages: Five minutes passed, then ten minutes. Golden light from the eastern sky. Suddenly, a crimson point rose from the edge of the sea—it was astonishing! The sun had come out, and I held my breath. I saw the hand that held the sun motionless, and the red dot that emerged from the water was instantly stretched into a golden thread, arched into a golden comb, and then gathered into a golden hoof. Then, with no hesitation, it shook its body and leaped out of the water. As it bid farewell to the sea and rose, it slowly dripped countless drops of golden liquid, spreading them across the miles in an instant. When I realized that the golden light was like a long snake swiftly running across the vast ocean towards here, the rocks beneath my feet suddenly churned up two zhang (about 6.6 meters) of golden snow.——[Japan] Yosano Sadakichi, Sunrise Over the Sea (Page 4)
