Life Is Too Short Poem by Luo Zhihai

Life is too short, hard to be drunk happily at midnight
Reason is profound, search much time, wish fulfillment
Writing is obsessed, by the fence of Five Willows chant chrysanthemum rhyme
Gully brook play se, in the Three Emperor Mountain there is orchid fragrance

人生苦短


人生苦短，難求半夜顏歡醉
道理深長，探索多時願已償
翰墨癡情，五柳籬邊吟菊韻
澗溪撫瑟，三皇山裏有蘭香
