ELegiac of the All Souls‘ Day to the year of the Rat in 2020

“ In All Souls‘ Day to weep and mourn，

Gloomy and miserable heart is going to break his way.”

The verses are from Chinses poetry guru in Tang Dynasty，Mr. Du Mu.

While in the same season，not as dismal plodders as before，

We are heart-broken mourners，the sad mourners in this moment！

For all the souls，

For those passed-away during the pandemic tragedy，

Like in the Spring，to where the shower ceaslessly drizzles，

Much louder than any verse and tears，

We are sorrowing，sobbing，praying...

With tthe scented essence from the hearts.

In the year of the Rat，the wicked plage lurks in the unexpected，

To ruin the lives，supposed to be peaceful and enjoyable，of you all，as well as  us.

Where the wheel of evil  crashed the lives into puddles，

And even tossed a lot to death.

No snowflake is innocent in an avalanche.

In such a human havoc，neither mortal nor immortal ones matters.

As the survivors by luck，with dry sadness deep into our eyes，

We cry over the memorial moments you all sharing with us before，

In this Spring in black.

The more intangible，the more true.

Causes of the calamity are under investigation though，

And we commit to responsible results to console the dead souls.

The more temporal，the more timeless.

The retrospection on the suffering and trauma experienced，

Is to carry forward our lives with good.

The best wishes from you all are the very source of strength，

For us sustaining any future challenge.

The more mortal，the more eternal.

Rest in peace！All souls！

Let's hope，

The spring of truth is in the presence of you all at final.

Let's then pray for the survivors to find everlasting peace in their minds.

The more mortal，the more eternal.

To the All Souls‘ Day in 2020
