 LISTEN TO THE TEXT LISTEN TO SHIRLEY PLAY & SING THE POEM
 Tang Dynasty (A.D.618 -907) poet Li Bai is my favorite Chinese classical poet in Chinese poetry history. His poems have been affecting Chinese people since his time until now. :-) So, every time, when I want to read and learn a classical poem, first of all, I think of Li Bai's works.
Today, I would like to introduce one of his poems that is about sending one of his old friend off.
This is one of his most famous poems, most of Chinese children and adults can recite it because it has chosen into the text book of the elementary school. :-)
With a very simple language, it has expressed a very deep feeling of the poet to his friend.
As usual, I have written a piece of music to match it and hope you enjoy it.
Below are some poems of Li Bai that I have introduced for you. I have made the links for you and hope there is a little bit help to you to review them:

 MAIN MEANING OF THE POEMLISTEN TO SHIRLEY PLAY & SING THE POEM
My old friend will leave from the West of Yellow Crane Tower.
You are sailing down to Yangzhou in the peachblossoming reason in March.
Your alone sail is flying far away and disappearing in the end of the blue sky,
There is only the water of Yangtze River is flowing to the horizon...
THE TRANSLATION BY HUNDRED ART PUBLISHING HOUSE:
From west Crane Tower my friend is on his way.
Down to Yangzhou in misty, flowery March.
A sail's faint figure dots the blue sky's end,
Where's seen but River rolling till its bend.
