《 The Beijing Past 》by Maidong

【The Beijing Past】             by Maidong 诵读：斯琴塔娜   I attempted to forget  As you were holding the lantern  Beijing’s night is filled with the sodium light People are walking sporadically  We have forgiven some people Like forgiving the message from a monsoon We drink and cheer under the sunshine Talking about the times of being young     You tell me Whilst walking with lanterns at one night You always encountered your previous life And met some people who are still alive I finally can stop here  Packing up the things And looking at your back after being apart You are still in a blue cotton shirt You are still walking gracefully and lightly   -Translated by Suou  苏欧译
