Features: This book is the second volume of Zhang Manjuan's "Collection of Hidden Poems Series," written by the Taiwanese female author. With、, the author expresses the various secrets of the human heart behind the passing of time, and provides exquisite interpretations of selected classical poems and the life experiences of the poets. In the relentless flow of time, all the stories of the heart are both distant and close, strangers yet familiar, stirring the heart, causing palpitations, making one ponder, and finally, finding peace.
When young, listening to the rain on the song platform, red candles dim the silk curtains.
When middle-aged, listening to the rain on a traveler's boat, the river is vast, clouds low, and wild geese cry in the west wind.
Now, listening to the rain in a monk's hut, gray hair has scattered like stars.
Joy and sorrow, partings and reunions, are all in vain. Let the raindrops fall to the dawn before the steps.
The joy of youth, carefree and unburdened;
The drifting of middle age;
The leisurely enlightenment of old age—
This is life.
That rain is the eternal backdrop, an unwavering companion, and also one who knows all the secrets.
The secrets of life, the secrets of time.
As a new century begins, I wake up in the rain, with a sense of satisfaction after a long journey.
Thus, I slowly write down these experiences.
If any of them resonate with your heart, do not be surprised.
You know—rain, it knows all the secrets of time.
