Studying in a Foreign Country
Traveling away from home to study in a foreign place
Fall winds blowing on his face
Grass swaying in the breeze
Blue smoke from his homes chimney receding in the distance
Hundreds of mountains, a thousand rivers inviting
Village and cities people
Young man looking through the window
Chin on fist seeing the world pass by
Absorbing the lessons on his own
Learning a foreign language joyfully
New things different way of life
For him this is like diving for pearls in a deep ocean.
Past and future time comparing
In a millisecond many shooting stars gone by
Wild geese winging by not landing
Someone’s son bringing home education.
