――Liu Guozong Spring Diary Eleven

The sun has already turned red; the crescent moon still hangs in the hazy sky. Crescent moon, what do you still have to cling to? It's not that people don't appreciate you—it's that you have long lost any appreciative value. Even if your pale face still has a bit of appreciative value for now, people no longer have leisure to appreciate you.

Don't you see everyone is this busy? The whole world revolves around money. If you revolve around it, can you make money?

Those who understand the times are outstanding; when it's time to retreat, you must retreat without hesitation. You had better retreat from the smoke and mist to the willow bank.

Because this world no longer needs you. Some have to go to work, some to school, some are doing business. In short, we must strive for survival and life.

The sun rises higher, yet the crescent moon remains clueless, still faintly appearing in the thin cloud gaps, occasionally showing??. If I ignore it, I still have to go work, otherwise Chen Lao Wu will give me a bad look.

While working, my mind keeps wandering. The crescent moon and sun in the sky—one on my left, the other on my right—are like a nun and a prostitute. I find it hard to tell the prostitute, 'You've fallen!' and equally hard to tell the nun, 'You're noble!' Saying that just confuses people.

Yes, I am simply a confused person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Could it be that I am the only one in this world who cannot tell right from wrong?

On the construction site a breeze rises; everywhere is gray dust, even the city is enveloped by dust and mist. Am I just a speck of dust in this city? I loathe this gray dust.

Time gradually approaches noon, approaches fatigue, approaches money. As time draws near, some people's money will increase, some people's money will decrease. Some people's rank will grow, some people's rank will shrink.
