王勃
送杜少府之任蜀州
城闕輔三秦， 風煙望五津。
與君離別意， 同是宦遊人。
海內存知己， 天涯若比鄰。
無為在歧路， 兒女共沾巾。

Wang Bo
FAREWELL TO VICE-PREFECT DU
SETTING OUT FOR HIS OFFICIAL POST IN SHU
By this wall that surrounds the three Qin districts,
Through a mist that makes five rivers one,
We bid each other a sad farewell,
We two officials going opposite ways….
And yet, while China holds our friendship,
And heaven remains our neighbourhood,
Why should you linger at the fork of the road,
Wiping your eyes like a heart-broken child?
