From the window, a few rays of sunlight,

Come in at a tilt,

Shine on the vase

All flowers are still dreaming,

Dancing after the wind.

They are suddenly pulled out,

Thrown in a trash can,

Petals falling, they cry,

For they lose the vase,

They feel the death.

They still don’t believe that,

“Being in the dirt,

We ever grew, bloomed and,

Pulled the wind to dance with”

One of them said again and again,

Which they laughed at until they die.

That flower is still saying,

“In vase, we are neither dead nor alive”

….

(Self-translation from MANDARIN)
