Roads like lines
Divide the land into vertical and horizontal plots
Road around the village
Encircle the streets
Roads like rivers
Confluence of three-way, four-way... seven-way...
Every river has its own flow.
There is a happy road
Bustling journey of life
Buzzing laughter and voices
There is a sad road
shaky
leaves fall back to their roots
The trees silently leaned over
There is a shimmering road
The window to joy, party, and dance
The music was loud, the lights were bright.
Life is not without joy
There is a sad road
Shoulders worn thin, night calls interrupted
The leaky house is lying down, waiting for the morning
Life is not without sadness
In front of every house there is a road.
Witnessing many people come and go
Someone is not coming back
Some people go to return.
If you don't get lost, you will reach your home town.
