Chinese Small Wander

學而時習之，不亦悅乎？有朋自遠方來，不亦樂乎？人不知而不慍，不亦君子乎？. . .

少小離家老大回
鄉音無改鬢毛衰
兒童相見不相識
笑問客從何處來

唐詩

　

He Zhizhang : Coming Home

I left home young and not till old do I come back,

My accent is unchanged, my hair no longer black.

The children don't know me, whom I meet on the way,

"Where d'you come from, reverend sir?" they smile and say.
