^An Yu Zhong
He is an old man who never forgets his original intention, with silver hair but maintains a youthful spirit.
He sheds his title, position, and worldly gains,
disconnecting himself from the ties of interest,
remaining committed to his initial purpose – teaching without pay.
He controls his voice through nuanced expressions and carefully crafted gestures,
using emotion to guide his delivery with subtle strokes and deliberate movements.
He tirelessly seeks the right direction for each student,
passionately exploring the true meaning of recitation for every reader.
Mastering the eight classic vocal styles,
he delivers the spirit of the times and recounts historical tales.
Through this dynamic expression, one sees the undulating mountains,
the vast grasslands,
the turbulent seas,
and the rising sun – inspiring awe and contemplation.
He is an old man who never forgets his original intention – a teacher.
Green Wild Hall offers divination items,
respected by officials across the land,
inspiring generations of talented scholars and poets everywhere,
He cultivates a beautiful garden in front of his home.
He possesses a calm and confident demeanor,
with a sharp wit and a sense of humor,
His lectures are insightful and elegant.
He uses his love to create a team of students constantly striving for improvement,
He established a platform for senior poetic culture,
He painstakingly built a team of non-aging youth reciters,
achieving fruition and blossoming with each season.
He is an old man who never forgets his original intention – a learner.
Despite his white hair, he continues to write diligently,
Even in his twilight years, he never forgets the importance of hard work,
He is erudite and knowledgeable but remains humble,
He is courteous and mannerly but also generous,
Some say he is a refined poet,
Others say he is a diligent learner,
He lives a free and relaxed life.
His non-fading knowledge is expressed within the confines of a single sheet of paper,
He uses his original intent to interpret the charm of life,
searching for his eternal youth!
