1 Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind

Author: Du Fu (Tang Dynasty)

The high autumn wind howled in August and rolled up the three thatched roofs of my house. Mao flies across the river and spreads across the outskirts of the river. The taller ones hang on the treetops and the lower ones drift towards Shentan. A group of children in the south village deceived me, saying that I was old and weak, and that I could not bear to face a thief, so they openly carried the grass into the bamboo.

My lips were burnt and my mouth was dry, and I couldn't breathe. When I returned, I leaned on my stick and sighed. The wind in Russia makes the clouds dark, and the autumn desert turns dark.

The quilt has been as cold as iron for many years, and the delicate child is lying on it and is cracked inside. There is no drying place for the leakage at the bedside, and the rain is like hemp on the feet and has not been stopped.

Since my menstruation is disordered and I have little sleep, how can I get wet all night long? There are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, which can shelter all the poor people in the world with joy.

It is as safe as a mountain even if the wind and rain do not move! Alas! When I suddenly see this house in front of my eyes, my house alone will be broken down and frozen to death!

2 Zhumen smells of wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road.
