The roads are like lines
Divide the land into vertical and horizontal plots
Road around the village
Enclose the entire street
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
The sound of laughter and voices
There is a sad road
Unstable
leaves fall back to their roots
The trees silently leaned over
There is a shimmering road
The window of joy, party, and dance
The music was loud and the lights were bright.
Life is not without joy
There is a path of sadness
Shoulders worn thin, night calls interrupted
The leaky house keeps me awake waiting for morning
Life is not without sadness
In front of every house there is a road
Witnessing many people come and go
Some people never come back.
Some people go to return
If you don't get lost, you will reach your home town.
