I dreamed about it several times and read it under the stars, but there were still a few hasty strokes in the history books. I searched frantically for your traces. In the final analysis, it was the historian who was unhappy with you.
General, general, Chaoge's trance-like figure, Chang'an's startling glance, the people talking nonsense on the streets of Maoling, the sun, moon and stars in the Hexi Corridor, the sleepless nights in the Qilian Mountains, the sworn embrace of Lake Baikal...
Can the wrapped red-stained white silk be torn off?
I went to Maoling to look for you. I looked for you at the age of sixteen. I looked for you at the age of twenty-three. I looked for you when you were twenty-three. I looked for you to ride on the mountains and rivers with your gold-armed iron horse. I looked for you to be a wolf and live in Xuzhou to conquer the nine states.
Looking for you, I will make my home all over the world, and my ambition is high. How can I call my home before the Xiongnu is destroyed?
Even if you don't know each other's vows, I promise to be with you in the ancient temple of Qingdeng Nanhai County, in dreams and clouds, and grow old together forever.
