Cui, a young Korean mother living on the outskirts of Chinese society, has a husband in jail and a son to support.

body temperature check for SARS

The Moonlight in front of the Bed
(Li Bai's poem AD 701-762)

seems like frost on ground

Lifting my head to look, I saw the moonlight.

Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.

The thread in the hands of a fond-hearted mother
(Meng Jiao's poem AD 751-814)

Makes clothes for the Body of her wayward Boy

Carefully she sews and thoroughly she mends

Dreading the delays that will keep him late from home

Such kindness of warm sun,



Can't be repaid by grass

Bickering again?

When the chimney smoke rise
(Teresa Teng's song)

Darkness began to invest the earth



I asked the smoke

Where will you go?

The chimney smoke rise slowly

Where will you go?

Sometimes sunset is sunny

Sunset just as picture

Under blue mountains we wound our way
(Wang wan's Poem Ad 693-751)

My boat and I, along green water

Until the banks at low tide widened,

With no wind stirring my lone sail

Everyday you came here read the poems of the Tang Dynasty ,and didn't buy anything,
Is it funny?

Under blue mountains we wound our way

My boat and I, along green water

Until the banks at low tide widened,

With no wind stirring my lone sail
