TWO: Such a broad wall and very strong foundation, due to Henkes Trocken, the Wall was renovated a greatest part so that we can walk upon this most valuable heritage. I have seen the Great Wall from my flight either, loveliest! . Thank you so much for sharing this great poem by Zhu Zhu. A 10++++++++++ for the voting/rating.

I'm glad you found something to like in Zhu Zhu's poem. I am curious, who is Henkes Trocken?

ONE: A mesmerizing read, a wonderful translation, a tad pity you have not added the original in Chinese, Denis. But this is a greatest reading, while I am imagining again the existence of the Great Wall at this present time. I have been there and that's why this reading from my side does mean so much to me. Please read TWO. Thank you.
