Someone can help me translate it? I have tried chinese word recognition online, but I haven't get a correct translation. Quote
Jim Posted August 21, 2018 at 11:24 PM Report Posted August 21, 2018 at 11:24 PM It's a quote from Su Dongpo (Su Shi): https://baike.baidu.com/item/此心安处是吾乡/19189793 Couldn't find an extant translation and a bit early here for me to give it a go. It was written for a friend sent into exile and the last line is about home being the best however pretty foreign parts may be. Quote
