Quotes
拂堤杨柳醉春烟. 儿童放学归来早， 忙趁东风放纸鸢. Willows sweep the riverbank, intoxicated with mist. Children return home in haste after school, Eager to fly kites when there is yet wind. The willow trees wholeheartedly absorb the sun's rays. My after-school schedule today is unusually tight. The first business is, of course, in east wind to kite.
