First Line 03 | "To Live" Yu Hua

When I was ten years younger than I am now, I had a profession befitting idle people: I traveled the countryside collecting folk songs. Throughout that entire summer, I roamed the village fields and country lanes like a stray sparrow, basking in the sun and catching cicadas.

我比现在年轻十岁的时候,获得了一个游手好闲的职业,去乡间收集民间歌谣。那一年的整个夏天,我如同一只乱飞的麻雀,游荡在知了和阳光充斥的村舍田野。
