shí nián lí luàn hòu,
zhǎngdà yī xiāng féng,
wèn xìng jīng chū jiàn,
chēng míng yì jiù róng。
bié lái cāng hǎi shì,
yǔ bà mù tiān zhōng。
míng rì bā líng dào,
qiū shān yòu jǐ zhòng。
After these ten torn wearisome years
We have met again. We were both so changed
That hearing first your surname, I thought you a stranger –
Then hearing your given name, I remembered your young face....
All that has happened with the tides
We have told and told till the evening bell....
Tomorrow you journey to Youzhou,
Leaving autumn between us, peak after peak.
