In the thirteenth year of the Republic, |
| [00:01.617] |
I went back to my home in Fujian, |
| [00:02.784] |
On my way I passed the White Horse Village in west Zhejiang. |
| [00:04.125] |
During my few days there, |
| [00:05.340] |
I wrote these travel notes. |

|
| [00:20.793] |
By the narrow road, there is a banyan tree. |
| [00:30.466] |
Lush leaves turn green the spider in the web. |
| [00:38.091] |
|
| [00:38.570] |
|
| [00:39.693] |
Farmers rise early, carrying hoes on their shoulders. |
| [00:48.625] |
Passed by the bridge and taste a couple slices of tofu. |
| [00:54.420] |
|
| [00:54.890] |
|
| [00:57.520] |
Young ladies pull down blinds again. |
| [01:06.405] |
And hurry to change into newly-tailored spring outfits. |
| [01:14.142] |
|
| [01:14.573] |
|
| [01:15.467] |
A couple of schmoozing chess lovers. |
| [01:24.459] |
Come under the tree to reopen yesterday’s game. |
| [01:30.599] |
|
| [01:30.985] |
|
| [01:33.626] |
The big white horse, its bells tinkling. |
| [01:42.322] |
Children cluster, asking for horse milk. |
| [01:47.765] |
|
| [01:48.404] |
|
| [01:51.488] |
“Off! Off! Off!” The annoyed old man with a whip in his hand. |
| [02:00.358] |
“Let your parents to come down to pay” he yells. |
| [02:06.058] |
|
| [02:06.666] |
|
| [02:09.749] |
Heavy rain falls in the afternoon, rushing down the muddy ground. |
| [02:18.438] |
The big banyan tree stands like a leaf-made cover. |
| [02:24.694] |
|
| [02:25.157] |
|
| [02:27.584] |
A Chinese bulbul, preening under the roof. |
| [02:36.573] |
Soaked with water, it trembled in cold. |
| [02:42.471] |
|
| [02:43.058] |
|
| [02:46.835] |
The sun is setting, birds back to mountain wood. |
| [02:56.157] |
The south wind brings the smoke of cooking from nearby neighborhood. |
| [03:04.843] |
|
| [03:05.124] |
|
| [03:06.208] |
Deep into the night, a boat light flashes dimly on the river. |
| [03:15.734] |
Bugs chirp outside the window. Sweet dream and sleep tight. |
| [03:28.583] |
|
