杜甫说：「烽火連三月，家書扺萬金」。今天的中國人没受到戰爭之苦。至於家書，現代通訊發達，執筆寫信，把信放入信封，寫上地址貼上郵票，然後萬里飛鴻把信寄出，相信是老人家做的事。
當九十五歲的母親寫信給一百歲的伯父，這就不是老人家事那麼簡單，那是人間佳話了。

老土鄉下仔，攬住匹布(*)來同我交換絲。你唔係來換絲，想追求我啫。(*也可以泛指「拎住錢」，以前布帛亦屬貨幣）
送子涉淇，至於頓丘。匪我愆期，子無良媒。
我送你過淇水，去到頓丘。同你講：唔係我特登拖延，皆因你未搵到媒人。
將子無怒，秋以為期。乘彼垝垣，以望複關。
你唔好嬲我，不如我地就決定今年秋天啦。我爬上高牆，望住你住嘅復關個邊。 Continue reading

《Travelling the Seven-Star Cliffs_1959》 Zhu De
七星降人間 The seven immortals have come to dwell on earthly sight
仙姿實可攀 Their fairy peaks we could now freely climb
久居高要地 They had dwelled on lands high
仍是發沖冠 Trees and greeneries loam over their tops nigh
開心才見膽 Happily we see their bosoms opened wide
破腹任人鑽 Allowing travelers to loiter as much as they like
腹中天地闊 Inside the hills a world of wonders in space wide
常有渡人船 People paddle boats through rather than hike
