Home Returning
Poem/He Zhizhang, Translation/Shu Jihuai
Embarked on my voyage as a youngster, though I finally returned much older
My tongue barely changed, but hair grew grey, and thinner
A little folk encountered me as a stranger
Asked with a curious smile, where are you from, my dear visitor?
少小离家老大回，
乡音无改鬓毛催。
儿童相见不相识，
笑问客从何处来。
