...A Book & A Journey...

๏ Travel once, read one book

Fill the heart and feel satisfied, add to your dreams

Touch the world through books, day and night

And touch that world again in real life

๏ There is an old Chinese saying

Travel ten thousand li is greater than anything

Reading ten thousand books is not easy

But experience is more valuable than textbooks

๏ However, if you travel far and do not learn

If you never read or study

Knowledge will not grow and wisdom will not appear

How can you continue to build on it?

๏ In truth, the two go side by side

The real world and the world of dreams

Words move from outside to inside

Touching thoughts, touching feelings, touching oneself

๏ To open yourself to every direction

To learn about the wide world everywhere

To experience the real world that you see and hear

And give meaning to every word

๏ Read ten thousand books, then set out

Ready to travel ten thousand li with your own steps

Along the way, learn and keep memories

Form your thoughts clearly and repeat them to remember

๏ Let dreams be beautiful within reality

Let every answer respond to every question

So the real world remains true to its name

And the world of dreams is complete as it is called

๏ Travel once, read one book

Fill your heart with what you choose

The world and us, us and the world, day and night

Learn about the world of dreams through reality

The world and us, us and the world, day and night

Read reality, read dreams, through reality
