第34章 The Camel Spring

At the foot of the lofty Wutusi mountain,

There is a clear ripple.

Hugging my grandma’s neck, in my childhood,

“Where does the spring flow to?” I asked.

She told me a tale about a distant past:

The two brothers of Karamanids from Samarkand…

I listened, and listened, into a hazy sleep to be fallen

With a hint of sweetness, in my Dream I smiled …

Today, to the camel spring I finally returned.

In my eyes, a magical land

There is the hard planting, harvest

The sun shine and also the storm.

In the ancient stone camel hunchback,

I found my hometown’s brook.

Also my early lost childish dreams

On the clear water of the camel spring flashes.
