Think of my brothers on a moonlit night.
Author: Du Fu
A vagrant heard the drums heralding the battle, which was the first call of a wild goose on the border in autumn.
The dew turns to frost tonight, and the moonlight at home is bright!
Brothers are scattered, and no one can ask about life and death.
It is inevitable to send books. What can you expect in the war? .
Vernacular translation
The forbidden drums sounded in the garrison building, and the lonely geese wailed from the autumn side.
Today is the Millennium Festival. I miss my family more, or I think the moon in my hometown is brighter.
Although there are brothers, they are all separated, and it is impossible to find out about them.
I don't know where to send a letter, because the world is still at war and there can be no peace.
