Afterword
Martial World is vast, court is high, how many crossroads are there in Mortal World?
Wealth is hard, fame is fleeting, how can one find lasting joy in this transient life?
Sing freely, embrace freedom, today's youth, tomorrow's old.
Slanting sunlight on green willow tips, spring is at its best on idle desk.
