The public admires the remnants of my old journey, the old springs and their children are flowing with the wind. The clouds and mist are proud and worthy of high-minded scholars, and I, an old man, am saddened that I have grown old and drunk; I insert (zhujiu – rosehips) and return to drunk; who will play the copper bell to sing the mighty Yangtze River?'
