记旧历除夕 节选

Reminiscences Under Autumns Lamplight Chiang Tan Chiufu often said to me, "A mans life lasts only a hundred years, and of this hundred sleeping and dreaming occupy one half, days of illness and sorrow occupy one half, and the days of swaddling clothes and senile age again occupy one half. What we have got left is only a tenth or fifith part. Besides, we who are made of the stuff of willows can hardly expect to live a hundred years." One day when the autumn moon was at its best, Chiufu asked a young maid to carry a chin and accompany her to a boating trip among the lotus flowers of the West Lake. I was then returing from the West River, and When I arrived and found that Chiufu had gone boating, I hired a skiff and went after her. We met at the Second Bridge of the Su Tungpo Embankment, when Chiufu was playing the "Autumn Lament in Han Palace". With my gown gathered in my hands, I listened to her music. At this monent, the hills all around were enveloped in the evening haze, and the reflections of the stars and the moon were seen in the water.
