Endless trees fall and the endless Yangtze River rolls down. I'm always a guest in autumn, sad for thousands of miles. I've been sick for a hundred years, and I'm alone on the stage. I'm in trouble, bitter resentment, frosty hair, downcast hair, I've just stopped drinking. This poem was 'Climbing High' by Du Fu, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. It depicted the magnificent scene of climbing high and looking into the distance, as well as the poet's inner feelings and thoughts. The mournful cries of the apes express the poet's loneliness and helplessness. The white birds flying back and forth in the clear sand showed the beauty and tranquility of nature. The endless falling trees and the endless Yangtze River express the impermanence and passing of life. I'm always a guest in autumn, sad for thousands of miles. I've been sick for a hundred years, and I'm alone on the stage. I'm in trouble, bitter resentment, frosty hair, downcast hair, I've just stopped drinking. In this poem, Du Fu used his own experience as the material to express his thoughts and feelings about the times, the people, and life, showing his deep feelings and superb poetry attainments.
