Translated from: 2000年大興安嶺偶遇 席慕容
But why?
Why?
I was shocking, I asked:
"Yesterday, when I walked passing here,
I could see so many birch trees,
With leaves glittering in the Autumn wind,
In shining silver, luke warm gold!"
"What's so surprising?", they answered.
"Once in the old days, when there were thousands
And thousands of trees around,
In just one morning, half a day,
We could empty, flatten
The whole and 300 years old, forest!"
So, it's only me
And the heart-broken fox,
Standing at the top of this hill.
It tried to search, I tried to think
Our forever lost, homeland.
