Meeting the postman on the road, the poet thought of his good friend far away in Changan, and sent off a token of the southern spring. This really was a beautiful thought, but sadly the people of the north were not always able to appreciate such gestures.
路上碰到郵差，能想到為遠在長安的好友，送去江南的春天，真是美麗的心意。可惜北人並不全能領情。
