This is an amazing #AAPI story!!! 👏👏👏

My father (b. 1913 d. 1989) read #ChinesePoetry & I'm sure would have enjoyed the class.

I've asked a better connected & more fluent #Cantonese speaking friend of mine to tell her friends about this article & the #Chinese poetry class to see if she can help to add more as well as younger members to the class to keep it going.

Aboard this boat of rotten wood
gathering fruit of the nimba tree
here we are in the open sea
where the waves never cease
only one-day's food along
shore a billion miles away
what's the cause of our distress
alas it's due to bitterness

Dense fog and clouds too thick to push away
suddenly appear and suddenly depart
clever people can wear themselves out
the sun lights the rocks the same as before
