by Wang Ran The sun descends, then rises anew, Summer wanes, winter ensues. People come and go. The world appears static, Yet it shifts and grows, as some hearts touched, and some wounds miraculously closed. Babies are born, bringing us beacons of hope and love, The smile on their faces, a reminder of the joy untouched within us. Every moment is worthwhile, despite the cycles, expected or unforeseen waiting ahead. We must head on, as if death lurks in the shadows. We glimpse lights illuminating our path, We witness rainbows after the storm. Suddenly, we feel much lighter ascending into the sky. Becoming an eagle who soars freely, just occasional flaps, with no worries, expected or  unexpected. + + + + ...

Weakness in Moving Forward by Wang Ran When verse evades my grasp, I grasp for it once more, In moments where progress halts, I press on as before. Eyes heavy, feet unsure, Yet grateful to persist, To gather fragments of life's lore, In joy or sorrow's midst. What flavour does it bear, This life of ours, we ask? As we glance back with a gentle air, All the triumphs, all the misdeeds Just laughable Before scattering in the breeze How to shake off these heavy tones, And let our spirit ease? Cold winds rush through my mind, Leaving thoughts behind. All empty like a void. Dead silence, all my senses are shutting down This moment of ‘lightness’ Enlightens me! + + + +

前 行 乏 力 （作者）惘 然 当不能作诗的时候 我又作诗 当无力前进时 我仍继续 眼像撑不开 脚轻浮浮 感幸来到这里 作一番体会 是甜是苦，是悲是欢 回顾，只能微笑 一切的愚昧 随风飘散 不知如何 卸下一切的"累" 愿像被冷风吹透（注） 一片空白 四周寂静 好想停留 片刻的"轻盈" （注）：新诗里面一句应是： 頭像被冷风吹過， 不是（愿） + + + +

Through the "Time Machine", can we go back to the bygone days, so that we see and feel everything still remained the same, almost? A friend of mine told me frankly that lately there has been fewer updates to the blog, he wondered if there is a shortage of conversation topics, whether the usual activity is at a low point, fading? The writer searched the shelf and showed him an original diary manuscript that had been kept for a long long time, and after a while, both of us said, why not have it toured on-screen? Okay, let's go. We shall see whether the good old days and the present have anything in common? And sure, with the words "All rights reserved"! ...... ...... A new outlook Last year was quickly gone in the blink of an eye. It's a bit sad to say. Before you know it, a new year has already came into the world. How long has it been since I left my M place? Besides from my family, what happened to my frien...
