Thanks for bringing Yan Li's poems to us through your translation.The philosophy and struggle of Yan Li are very much evident in this poem. 'I know before long I will also forget What I went through so fists of the marketplace Could beat enough courage into me to create profitable art But there's a saying about this I'll remember all my life: " When the scar heals, the pain can be forgotten"
