53, "You Remember the Black-tailed Waxbill"

In the old days, I often looked at Junjiao, with a waxy mouth and a black scarf and a wisp robe.

Laughing and noisy, tossing and turning, a hundred fruits and thousands of reds, and eating neem dates in autumn.

Nowadays, there are fewer neems, fewer acacias, and fewer and fewer trees.

"Capuch" is hard to find, "starling" is hard to find, and "yellow finch" is hard to find.

The empty swallow mud in front of the eaves, the cold nest on the tree, and the fragrance is gone.

Back then, I loved to raise the most, and I was a guest in a cage, and the years went by, and there were many changes, and the rest was a bitter memory.
