More Information

There, as far as the eye can reach, the fishermen gather.
Removed from the troubles of the world, they enjoy great leisure,
Being more accustomed to the daily chores of the lakes and seas.
Often a clear melody arises from the neighboring bay.

Jiyou year (1969), seventh month. Shao-an.
