Episode 16
Third Uncle.
Why didn't you come over to look for me last night?
I even told my dormmates about it
and kept the door open for you.
Thank you.
That hoodlum hasn't bullied you again, right?
He hasn't.
They only come back early in the morning. It seems like they work the night shift.
He's a laborer in a three-shift system?
Then how did he manage to get into a two-person, high-grade dorm?
I don't know.
Have you realized that this hoodlum
seems to be very familiar with the people in the factory?
Section Chief Chen seems to be a bit scared of him.
Why are you wearing this?
What's wrong with it?
Today, you must meet...you must meet the secretary and factory manager.
They are going to distribute our specific work. Shouldn't you dress a bit more crisply?
Hold on. I'm going to get you a new shirt.
Don't. It's not necessary.
I'm dressing a bit casually to be more comfortable.
If I wear that Shanghai brand shirt of yours to meet our superiors,
I wouldn't know how to place my limbs.
Listen to me. Try it. Just try it.
No, it's not necessary. Let's go.
Those three wearing flowery shirts
are descendants of Jinzhou Factory's old employees. They're vocational students.
They look even more lofty than us college students, right?
Then maybe, my roommate Xun Jianxiang is also a younger generation of this factory's old employees.
Then you have to be even more careful.
These privileged brats are always arrogant and despotic. They might cause you trouble in the coming days.
These people are this year's newly arrived college students.
For these few, no need anymore for introductions.
They're all our own factory's younger generation.
They graduated this year. Came back to succeed their father's jobs to continue building our Jinzhou.
- Have a seat. - All of you, sit.
Which one is Song Yunhui?
Secretary Shui, this is Little Song.
He graduated from Anyun University.
- Hello, Secretary Shui. - Have a seat.
As soon as Little Song arrives, all of us in the cadre department are stunned.
His record and school transcripts all show
that for consecutive years, he was ranked first in his field of study.
Old Fei.
It is also my first time seeing this Little Song, Song Yunhui.
He was recommended by Little Xu.
Since he was recommended by Little Xu,
I did everything I could to bring him here.
So it was Xiao Xu that recommended him.
Before Xu Shu left, he recommended Sleeping Dragon and Budding Phoenix to Liu Bei. [Sleeping dragon refers to Zhuge Liang; Budding Phoenix is Pang Tong; The two and Xu Shu are all famous streategists of the Three Kingdoms Era]
No wonder you personally set out to get him, Old Shui.
Little Song, did you enter college after graduating from high school?
I graduated from middle school then went farming for a year before I took my college entrance exam.
So that's why you're so young.
There are really talented people for every generation.
Secretary Shui, who is Xiao Xu? Why don't I have an impression of him?
We can call him Xiao Xu but you can't.
He is the official of your county, County Governor Xu.
- Right now, he's Secretary Xu, right? - That's correct.
Little Xu came from our factory.
You said that from middle school...
While I was farming, I studied high school courses on my own,
so I can't be considered as someone who graduated from high school. There was no restriction in application.
Old Liu, you were in charge of this year's recruitment, right?
I led the team.
The cadre department and the biotechnology department had people appointed to be in charge of the task.
Old Liu, you came from a technological background.
Why didn't you recruit the ones with the best performance records
and instead hired ones with just flowery skills?
Secretary Shui, I've seen Song Yunhui's graduation thesis.
It has a high level of difficulty and it also has insight. His knowledge foundation was also very firm.
But when our factory goes to universities to recruit people,
we need the school's cooperation and recommendation.
I individually prefer Song Yunhui,
but their university decided to give the recommendation slot to Yu Shanqing.
The school can make recommendations,
but the final decision is within our factory's own hands.
If I hadn't received Little Xu's phone call,
our Jinzhou factory
may have missed out on the most qualified person of this cohort.
Old Shui, when we recruit people, we have to face several schools
and find the appropriate person for the job.
There are so many applicants, but one's energy is limited.
How can he care about so many things?
During the next period of time, the biggest task we have here at Jinzhou factory is to
reorganize our technologies and upgrade our products.
All important work within the factory must circle around these core goals.
Recruiting talented people was naturally also to accomplish this.
These past days, I kept going to the ministry, for I want to earn their support.
I then handed the factory to you people.
Right now, there's a popular saying in the society
that goes as, "laymen cannot lead experts".
But here in Jinzhou, it's so weird.
An important work like hiring talents was given to a cadre with expertise on it,
but he was worse then the laymen.
Secretary Shui, of the 8 college students that have come to our factory this year,
Yu Shanqing's overall performance is the best and Song Yunhui's performance record is the best.
This doesn't mean that our direction in recruiting people is wrong.
Overall performance?
Isn't it just some social gathering organized by the labor union?
Will that help our factory's reorganization of technologies?
Old Fei. This is how I see it.
For these college students, including our factory's younger generation,
shouldn't be assigned any position at the moment. They should first learn a bit on the front lines.
The more must people with outstanding grades be trained in actual practice.
Based on principles, I agree with the decision of Secretary Shui.
Let the young ones stay in the reorganization office.
Understanding Jinzhou will also help
their future work.
[Jinzhou Chemical Industry Main Factory]
Third Uncle.
Xiao Hui.
You don't need to wait for me to get to work every day.
Why?
Haven't you noticed how every one looks at us?
It's as if I've taken advantage of you.
The eyes are with them. They can look in whatever they want.
Aren't you afraid that secretary Shui will not be happy
by being so close to me?
Technically, I don't know Secretary Shui personally.
But I think that since he's in such high position, he wouldn't be so petty.
You're right.
If in the future, I get delegated to the workshop and will take three-shifts duty,
I might not even have the time to go to work together with you.
I heard from old technicians
that Jinzhou hasn't become luxurious enough to make college students laborers.
Don't overthink it, let's go.
It's over.
What?
Do you see that yellow safety helmet?
That is for the person who will be placed in the No. 1 Factory.
The hardest and most tiring No. 1 Factory.
It seems among us, one is destined to go down the ranks and be a laborer.
That doesn't mean it will be you.
[Be united. Exploit. Be pragmatic. Aim for perfection.]
Please have a sit, everyone.
Before I announce the assignments,
first, let us give a warm round of applause to welcome Director Liu,
who will be representing the factory's superior in giving everyone the important instructions.
Please welcome him.
It's not really some instructions. I'll just say two things.
It's about the factory's current two main tasks.
First, exploit potentials, reform, and change. The country's foreign exchange is limited.
It's impossible for us to import advanced international equipment in a grand scale.
We can only base ourselves in our factory and exploit the potentials of the equipment that we have.
Focus the core of your work into the direction of the raw materials of consumer goods.
Second, realize the reorganization work that the superiors have assigned.
Strengthen and perfect the economic responsibility system.
Strictly follow economic appraisals
and job responsibility regulations. Create a good system of reward and punishment.
Perfect and strengthen everyone's work discipline.
I heard about everyone's performance in the front line.
According to your performance, the factory superior
made respective job assignments.
Come, you say it.
Next, I will official make the announcement.
- Zhou Huaijun. - Here.
- Li Xuyan. - Here.
- Xue Zhongshen. - Here.
You three will report in the Reorganization Office.
Go pick up your safety helmets and work uniforms over there.
- Come, follow Department Chief Du. - See that?
The place where the factory descendants go is still better.
- Fang Hongsheng. - Here!
- Liu Xuedong. - Here!
- Zhao Gang. - Here!
And Yu Shanqing.
Yu Shanqing, the four of you will report to the biotechnology department.
Department Chief Li, I will leave them to you.
Okay. Don't worry.
Song Yunhui.
You will report to the No.1 Factory.
Hey, come back!
Big news! Big news!
Song Yunhui, that college student, got assigned to No. 1 Workshop Factory to be a laborer.
- Like me, he's under the three-shift system. - Three-shift system?
Song Yunhui! This time, the status difference between us has been evened out.
I got assigned to No. 1 Workshop. I'll be reporting there tomorrow.
The No. 1 Workshop is good! I work there.
Haven't you heard that No. 1 Factory is hard and exhausting.
The No.1 Workshop of the No.1 Factory is Jinzhou's prisoner labor reform center.
Where are you going?
- The Dormitory Section told me to move to the 6-person room in the old building. - Six...
Who told you to move?
Section chief Chen.
Damn him! He's bullying you too much!
Seeing how Head Shui was taking care of a college graduate like you when you just arrived here, he placed you in a 2-people room.
You just got assigned to the hardest No.1 Workshop and he already moved you to a 6-people room? That's too snobbish!
Don't move!
Section chief Chen is still waiting for me downstairs. He asked me to hurry for he needs to get off of work.
Just say I'm not letting you move and tell him to come see me if there's any problem!
Xun Jianxiang, can you stop giving me such a hard time?
What are you doing?
Stay here and don't move. If you go down now, there's no going back.
Section Chief Chen, right? I'll entertain him with a big bat!
- Da Xun! Da Xun! - What are you doing? - All of you, move aside!
- No! You don't need to do this! - Get lost! - What are you doing?
They will think I am stirring up trouble if you do this!
If someone will be stirring up trouble here in Jinzhou Factory, it won't be you.
Let me tell, Song Yunhui, as long as I am here, even if a hole appear in the sky,
no one will dare blame you for it! Just stay here!
- Follow me! - Da Xun! Da Xun!
Da Xun!
- Old Chen, are you still human? - What do you mean?
- You are trying to bully a honest man! - Your bad temper is acting up again, is that it?
- Hey, let go. Let me tell you> - Don't...
- Let me tell you, you mustn't bully honest people like this! - Leave! Leave!
- You mustn't do things like this! - Your bad temper is acting up again.
What are you doing! I told you to wait for me inside.
- Let's go back inside. - No...
All of you, move aside!
Don't follow! Go back to your room!
Go inside!
Stay here and live comfortably.
As long as I am here, no one will dare make you leave.
Why are you doing this?
Song Yunhui, I am going to be honest here.
You are kind-hearted with a strong sense of justice.
I just like you. You are way better than the people around here.
Don't see how they call me 'Master' every day, none is a good person.
People who openly respects you are the ones who looks down on you behind your back.
Isn't it just intellectuals? A technician?
Bullshit technician!
We only knew each other for half a month and you know me that well already?
My eyes are very sharp.
Whatever tricks is up a person's sleeve, I know with just one scan.
Moreover, if you move out,
that dormitory section might find some annoying person to squeeze into my room.
By then, I might die from annoyance.
If Section Chief Chen still asks me to move tomorrow, I will still need to move.
He won't.
I've already told him that
other than Song Yunhui,
whoever else moves in, I will break their legs.
Old Chen is always scared whenever I start fights inside the dorms. For this matter,
the factory has given him demerits.
Come here. Let us celebrate.
Celebrate what?
Have a drink with me.
We will celebrate the fact that a college student like you have became a factory worker in a three-shift system like me.
- I am not good at drinking. - Do you want to know
why they were fawning on you a few days ago,
but ignoring you these past days?
Do you know why Old Chen from the Dormitory Section dared to move you to the 6-people room in the old building, while a three-shift system laborer like me
is able to live in a good dorm room?
I don't know.
I will tell you if you drink with me.
Good lad.
You are the boldest. I wasn't wrong about you.
- Tell me. - This Jinzhou Factory was initially
the territory of Old Shui.
Old Liu and Old Fei couldn't even dare to fart in front of Old Shui.
But a few days ago, the higher-ups set up a new rule
called some...
Some factory head responsibility system or something.
Anyway, what that means is that
Old Shui will not be the boss of Jinzhou anymore.
Reject a matter because of a person, I've long heard this illness of big enterprises.
- Never thought that I'll fully experience it upon coming in here. - Stop being so sad about it.
What's wrong with being a laborer? The laborer level is the true leader level.
Let's celebrate then my addition to the leader level.
I initially thought
you would do better than me. I was even hoping that you'll fish me out of that hard sea called third-shift system.
I didn't think you will also fall into it.
When did you start putting your hopes on me? You even want to punch me before.
Since that day you accompanied me to watch a movie without tickets,
I've treated you as a friend.
Let's talk about you.
What qualification do you have that you can live here and to threaten the dormitory section?
I threatened the dormitory section? You're belittling me.
Let me tell you that if I go wild, even Head Shui must give me some honor.
That Old Chen of the Dormitory Section is nothing.
You are a son of old factory workers?
I am.
There are a lot of you here.
They are not as arrogant as you.
That is because they have a good life.
My father died because of Jinzhou.
A few years ago, the factory was focused on competitions. No one was maintaining the equipment.
The core isolation pump of the No. 1 Workshop
was operating beyond load. Good thing, my father discovered it on time.
He led some men there and tried their best to save it.
But they still were unable to fix it and it exploded.
But the accident wasn't that grave.
Only he died.
You scared me.
Are you getting ready for work?
Yes, I am.
Get on!
I'll ride you.
Thank you.
Wait, I've changed my mind. You do it.
Sit tight and don't fall.
Go, Go!
Go, let's go!
Let's go!
- Get out of the way. - The ones in front, be careful!
Master Huang.
Master Huang, I want to introduce you to Little Song!
It is his first day here!
Director Min said he will be your disciple from now on,
what do you think?
Okay. Go up now.
Thank you.
Do well.
Master, hello.
Hello.
- My surname is Huang. Okay. Hello, Master Huang.
Newly arrived peasant college students
will usually work in the workshops first.
Little Song, don't be too disappointed.
Make your basic foundation stronger.
- It will benefit your future technical works. - Master Huang,
I am actually very willing to come to the workshop to learn stuff.
That's good. The production of this synthetic ammonia is a bit longer.
The craftmanship is a bit complicated, and there's a degree of danger.
Hence, just a slight problem occurring in the whole system
will affect the quality of the product.
Worst case, it might induce a mishap. Hence, you now
must get familiar with the whole system. Just by looking at the meter
- might help you detect some problems. - Okay.
At the same time, you will also know where to investigate the problem.
Okay.
Hey, Little Song, go there and take a look.
Go look at those pipelines and valves.
- Master Huang. - Hi.
The main control room is here.
This is the core area of No. 1 Workshop.
Let me introduce to you the distribution of the meters.
Right front of you is Section 1.
On the left, Section 2. On the right, Section 3.
The operational situation of all equipment will be seen here in the main control room.
Our internal control personnel is divided into 3 shifts. For 24 hours,
they take turns in guarding. They ensure that all equipment are operating normally.
If an equipment show any unusual situation,
the internal control personnel will immediately inform those in the field to do repairs and adjustments.
And then inform the maintenance branch factory to do the repairs.
The general situation is more or less like that.
Let's go eat now.
- Shigen. - Yes.
- Uncle. - In broad daylight, Dongbao didn't come to the brick factory nor is in the brigade office. Where did he go?
That...Secretary is at home learning accounting.
He said that no one should disturb him if there's nothing important.
Uncle, you're looking for him?
He really allowed Old Macaque to handle that rabbit fur purchasing station?
Yes.
That man wouldn't even acknowledge his own parents when he sees money.
Aren't you afraid that he'll play tricks behind our backs?
I went to the rabbit fur purchasing station in the village.
Those big rolls of fur, I got dizzy just by looking at them.
That...about the money, it's always Sibao handling them.
Secretary Dongbao also told me to keep watch of Old Macaque.
He also said that I should follow him and familiarize myself with the route he's using to sell the rabbit furs.
- In the future, I will directly replace him. - Okay.
It's good that you all know it. I'm old.
No need to discuss this with me. You all just decide by yourselves.
Secretary, this...when did Secretary Dongbao not discuss anything with you?
This matter about Old Macaque handling the rabbit fur purchasing station, he didn't discuss it with me.
Give me your hand.
- That hurts so much. - That's for you not studying hard,
and your hand is even not behaving. Hurry up.
I've been studying for an hour. Students even get to have extracurricular activities.
You are very strict teacher. Can you at least allow me to rest?
You said by yourself that want to learn the financial sheets. I didn't force you.
If you don't study well, I will drag you to the Brigade office and do my lecture there.
Please don't.
If Shigen and other people see me being unable to figure out these stuff,
they will be so laughing at me.
Who dares to laugh at you? You are now on the newspaper, a model for people to learn.
Oh.
I know what you mean. I should be low key and guard against arrogance.
It's all Shigen's fault. He has to put the newspaper up on the wall in the office. I will tear it off tomorrow.
No need. Xiaoleijia earned that honor.
If you don't learn to see the financial sheet, how can you guard against Old Macaque?
You can't let Shigen handle everything.
Okay, I will keep studying.
I actually can understand the principles.
I just can't understand why we should be so detailed about every item on the sheet. No one would die if you miss a few.
So many numbers.
Do you know the first requirement of doubly entry bookkeeping?
It's being rigorous. Before, you asked me to study accounting.
It's not just for simple accounting, right?
We need to build a mature accounting system.
Like before what you did, just replacing with a blank note if there is no receipt.
If everyone does that, things will get messy.
Wife.
Take a look. Am i doing it correctly?
Let me put it here. It's brighter.
What are you doing?
I will whip your palm if you don't focus.
I promise I will focus.
I will study hard. I'll let the brigade see my performance.
You go study by yourself. Ask me if you have any question.
I will go and cook.
Teacher, you have worked hard.
Teacher Song, what's the difference between income account and capital account?
What's the matter? Let me see.
You ask me?
How'd i know what's the matter? You were still okay earlier.
Come on, what's going on?
I will give you another chance. What's different with me?
Your hair is longer?
More chubby?
What's going on?
When I went to check for sanitary napkins today, I noticed that thing is a month late.
What thing?
You know the thing.
That thing. The thing that comes every month.
I'm worried that I might be pregnant.
You mean we are having a son?
That...let's go to health center tomorrow.
I will carry you on my back. I guarantee that it won't be bumpy.
We can't say yet. I might be wrong.
- I heard when getting pregnant, you will be anorectic and nauseous. - Put that down.
And you may lose sleep. I just felt a little bit nauseous these two days.
- I might be wrong. - How can it be wrong?
How about I go home first tomorrow and ask mom.
If we go to the health center, everyone will know.
No, don't move anymore. Put that down.
Nothing to worry about. I have your back.
No, let's think about it. Should I go to the county seat tomorrow
and buy some milk powder, malted milk, and what else?
Don't laugh. Do we still have fabric coupons? Quickly get some fabric and make my son a lot of clothes.
- We're still not sure. - What not sure?
My son has my genes. He has no patience. Come over here.
- What? I need to cook. - Rest. Don't do it anymore.
- What are you doing? - Come, sit down.
You don't need to cook anymore. I'm afraid that you'll get tired.
- What do you eat if I don't cook? - Let my mom come and cook.
She will be so thrilled if she knows she is going to have a grandson.
What if it's a girl?
We have birth control policy now. We can only have one child.
It's the same if it's a son or a daughter. Having a daughter is better. If she's like you, it'll save me worrying.
It's awesome no matter what. It will still be our child.
If son, we will name him Xiaobao. If daugher, we will name her Xiaoping.
I give you the right to give the official name.
I don't care if you're Xiaobao or Xiaoping, listen well.
I surely will strive hard to earn money. Earn a lot of money and buy you a lot of white rabbit candies.
In the morning, we'll eat eggs. Lunch, eat fish. During dinner, eat meat.
Oh, right. I must take down this old house, so you can live into a new one when you get born. What else did I not say?
What else? You've said everything that can be said.
Oh, right. I must tell this matter to father and mother-in-law, so that they'll be happy too.
Right, also Xiao Hui. Write him a letter to tell him. Don't write anymore. I'll call him now to tell him.
- He will be an uncle soon. - Let me tell you.
Sit down. Sit down.
Xiao Hui wrote back. He wants me to thank you.
Thank me for what? He said that he got into the Jinzhou Factory because of your help.
I didn't really help with anything.
That day, I went to look for Old Xu and nagged a little.
I said that Jinzhou Factory has such poor standards. They refused such a good college student.
Never thought that Old Xu would be that capable.
Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've always thought that it was just Xiao Hui being auspicious, being able to pick up a biscuit from the sky.
Wife.
You're so great.
Xiao Hui!
You're looking for me?
Are you doing well in the workshop?
Quite good. Master and my co-laborers are taking good care of me.
That's good.
You want to take the technical flow path anyway. Starting to understand the techniques from the start will be a good help for you in the future.
After entering the workshop, I realized that a lot of things I've learned before are not applicable. I must study from the start.
But, I like this feeling of substantiating myself.
Here. This is my library card. You can borrow books from the factory library.
That's great.
I've read the books I've brought from the university so many times. I was worrying not having any more books to read.
- Thank you, Third Uncle. - No need for thanks.
You're a gold, Xiao Hui.
You will shine wherever you go.
Fighting.
I'll get going then.
Song Yunhui!
Where are you going? Are you riding my bike or not?
I'm going to the library. What's the deal?
Very cheap. Three bottles of water.
I better just walk.
Will you die if you just take my disciple?
Your daughter is still so small. Once she grows up, Little Song might have been gobbled up by some other woman already. So why are you speaking for him?
Don't say nonsense.
Anyway, don't bully my disciple.
- Okay, I'll get going now. - Quickly go home and care for your children.
- Are you busy? - Just right.
Did you bring your library card?
If you're here, why must I still bring some library card?
Okay. Okay.
- I'll just casually look around. Just get back to your work. - Sure. Okay.
You scared me.
Why are you not drinking alcohol and instead came here?
Am I sick to drink by myself?
Oh, right. You don't have a library card, so how did you get in?
Is there a place here in Jinzhou that I can't get in?
You see that librarian?
I'm her type, handsome, elegant, and effeminate man.
I urge you to just go back. You won't like reading the books here.
None of your business. I'm going to stay wherever I want.
I also will stop bragging. It's good that librarian isn't here today. If she is, I won't be able to come in.
- I heard she went to study night school. - Which librarian. - Liu Qiming.
Director Liu's daughter.
Classical condescending person. Such bad temper.
Using the language of educated person like you, she's a glacial beauty.
Let me tell you that everyone in Jinzhou knows her.
- I don't know her. - You will, sooner or later.
- What are you reading? - Stop disturbing me.
You won't understand. Go there and read books.
You don't need me to help you analyze them?
It's time to get off work.
Okay.
Xunzi. Get up. We need to go.
You're done reading?
No. But they are getting off work.
Don't mind them. With me around, no one would dare make you leave. Continue reading.
My library card is someone else's.
Stop creating trouble. Let's quickly go.
Hurry.
Liu Qiming is here.
Thanks. Thanks.
Something's wrong with you.
I'm willing to hear your words.
With you being this nice, you would be staying in the lowest rank forever.
The superior now like to pick
the soft persimmon to pinch when dealing with their employees.
For thorny ones like me, they have to be more courteous.
But for the ones like you,
good things won't have anything to do with you in this lifetime.
Isn't a thorny person like you also in the three-shift system?
I think that courteousness that the superiors give you is limited.
What do you know?
I got demoted because of fighting.
You're different.
You should go to the front door of the superior and make a ruckus everyday.
The factory is just this big. Everyone knows where everyone lives.
Superior is most afraid of his employees going to his doorstep to cause trouble.
Do you understand, geek?
I really find it strange.
How come the ladies now love a geek like you?
The things one learns in college is limited.
I don't want to work for the biotechnology department upon arriving.
Just like living in a pavilion in the air, your foundation is weak.
I don't want to be having a newspaper and a tea everyday,
just idling my time away.
While I'm young, I should do and learn more things,
so it won't be a waste having such a brain.
You're still stupid. For humans,
it's easy to get down but hard to go up.
Look at your master, Old Huang. I admire him a lot.
He has great technical skills. When the factory encounters any major repair,
those technicians from the branch factory must still listen to him.
But what's the use?
He still couldn't avoid the fate of being in the three-shift system.
A person shouldn't just keep himself within his role.
It depends on the individual.
Rather than being a good-for-nothing in the reorganization office,
sweeping, getting water, and throwing up garbage.
It's better to go to the basic level and learn things.
You are too practical.
You don't have the fate to be an officer.
You are practical too.
You clearly are a very enthusiastic person,
but you just have to put up an image of being happy-go-lucky and annoying.
Are we buddies or not?
We are friends.
If you're a friend, you should be supporting me.
What are you planning?
Get on the bike and return to the dorm with me. Let's go!
- Did you see that lady? - Yes.
Her name is Zhang Shuhua.
She just replaced her mother to work in that convenience store.
College student, help me think about it.
How would I be able to conquer her?
I'm not experienced in this matter.
She likes me, but her mother looks down on me.
She kept getting in between us.
You're different. You're a college student.
Her mother would so like to stick her daughter to you.
Hence, later, you go there.
Once she's off work, just take her away from her mother's sight, and it's done.
- Quickly go. - Wait.
If I go, what will I say?
Do you two have any secret language?
Where will she meet you?
Secret language? Why be so complicated?

♫ Flowers quietly bloom in the spring ♫
♫ Looking forward to the big and ripe golden fruits of Autumn ♫
♫ Those seeds of hope that our predecessors sowed ♫
♫ will be reaped by their successors ♫
♫ The proud sun of summer burns like fire ♫
♫ Emerging layers of waves are still warm ♫
♫ Push open a window, let the breeze blow past, ♫
♫ as if spring has come to visit ♫
♫ The wind and snow of winter sweep past ♫
♫ Bringing songs of harvest during autumn ♫
♫ When did the rain fall? When did the wind stop blowing? ♫
♫ Telling stories of the past ♫
♫ The spring breeze continues to blow, still looking forward ♫
♫ to the flowing rivers of age; time fleetingly passes by ♫
♫ A journey of difficulties and loud songs ♫
♫ All belong to us ♫
♫ Smilingly watch as time passes by ♫
