Zhang Yucun 张雨村

Zhang Yucun, pen name "I Got White Clouds 我有白云".

To a Passerby 《写给一个路人》

I'll let you drink
my liquor,
if you allow me
to get warm by your fire.
Don't worry, nobody would steal your jacket
and there is no need to call me Dad
just in case of inheritage.
It doesn’t matter if it's a long journey
or just a few steps away from home
that's all I need
and all I can give.
