Analysis of New Year on Lunar Calendar
旧历的新年
为生活注入阳光
早到的祝福
催熟了去年的愿望
看它们破茧
飞向不回头的远方
开一坛老酒
溶解包心的忧伤
听一支新花
叙述生命的绽放
《旧历的新年》

The New Year on Lunar Calendar
Injects sunshine into life.
Early arrivals of greetings,
Ripen wishes from last year.
I watch them emerging from cocoons
Flying away into distance.
Then I open jar of aged wine,
To dissolve sadness wrapping my heart,
When listening to a new blossom,
Blowing a tune of new hope.
