Liangjiahe

Fan Tao

Like a wedge

Breaking into life

It tastes all the bitterness and sweetness

Like a spring

The tighter the more pressure

The elasticity is tremendous

Taking responsibilities

Walking firmly

The methane lamps illuminate the village

All the caves are full of stories

“Sui wa, let's move forward…”

In Liangjiahe

The hinterland of northern Shaanxi Plateau

The cordial calls and greetings

Are ringing in my ears

I suddenly burst into tears

In my life

I have seen too many people being overwhelmed by life

And some people are destined to

Shine lights
