(Appreciation)
The author was visiting a village. The
farmers just had a nice year, so they had a lot of chicken, pork and white
wine. There were so many mountains and lakes on the way that the author almost
lost the hope, but among some trees and flower the author finally saw a
village. The local music was telling him that the spring was on the way. Also,
people in this town dressed up like ancient people. From now on, if the author
had time walking in this beautiful moon light, he would knock on
the neighborhood's doors.
(Special meaning)
山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。This sentence has a special meaning. It
means that sometimes you will encounter so many difficulties that you may lose
hope, but if you keep going, you will find your way eventually.
