Special Love for Special You (I)

I brought herbs, picked flowers

and presented them to the person I cared for

To stand in front of you

and express my love for you

and yearning to meet you,

I have brought excellent herbs and picked flowers.

In ancient times,

Hubei people were so particular about expressing love

and adopted such a wonderful way to express love.

The Chinese Valentine’s Day falls on Aug 22.

A love letter from Hubei

for you

Ultimate love

has undergone various forms.

When Hubei people express love,

They convey their love through various things of the world

instead of just directly expressing love.

The “Songs of Chu” and the “Book of Songs”

created in Hubei

were based on

vegetation, birds, beasts,

fields, landscapes and folk songs.

Besides, rivers and lakes are abundant here.

There are abundant ponds, isles, shores, water margins,

beaches, estuaries, reservoirs and pools.

The place is full of tender passion and touching stories.

However, love is not just an emotion

people feel toward other people.

One day away from the kudzu picking girl seemed like three months.

One day away from the mugwort picking girl seemed like three seasons.

One day away from the wormwood picking girl seemed like three years.

You may become restless for being away from someone.

Cattails and lotuses grow in a pond surrounded by high dams.

A beauty over the pond has attracted me so much that I have become restless.

My love becomes so strong just for you.

The spirit of seeking for truth

along a long and narrow road

makes you more persistent.

Wearing lotus cloths and fastening a meli lotus arvensis belt, I come and go all of a sudden.

You stay overnight in a suburb. Whom are you waiting for in the sky?

I am waiting for you!
