別故鄉
別故鄉
父母先後西去，我也不知不覺中進入了天命之年。父母在就有家，而我現在成了沒家的孩子。離別容易，但心頭的重擔和苦澀只有自己知道。
整理父母房間的時候，發現了自己小學和中學的畢業證，這是我和父母住在一起十八年的回憶，被他們精心保存。
離開的飛機上俯望朵朵白雲，來去無蹤，聚散無常，我們一生所能擁有的，也許只有這朵朵白雲而已。
正是：
黃土有幸埋親骨，舊宅無緣見爹娘。
長哭頓首自茲去，兩袖浮雲別故鄉。

Farewell to My Homeland
After my parents passed away, one after the other, I quietly found myself entering the age of destiny. While one's parents live, there is always a place to call home; now, I have become a child with no home to return to. Leaving is easy enough, but the burden and bitterness carried within the heart are known only to myself.
As I sorted through my parents' room, I found my elementary and high school diplomas. They had carefully preserved these simple certificates for decades—the silent witness to the eighteen years I spent under their roof.
From the airplane window, I looked down upon drifting clouds. They came without a trace and vanished without farewell, gathering and scattering beyond our grasp. Perhaps, in this fleeting life, all we ever truly possess is no more than these passing clouds.

The kindly earth now holds what I was living for;
The old home stands, but welcomes me no more.
With tears and bows, I take my final flight;
Like drifting clouds, I fade beyond your sight.
