Sorry, just got home. Good day today — discovered a particularly excellent enterprise. China's businesses truly harbor hidden dragons and crouching tigers; this is the real foundation of China's twenty-year great bull market.

Alright, got back too late, so I won't write a proper post. Let me just put up this ID's "Midnight Song" — following the rhyme of the Southern Dynasties' "Midnight Song" IV.

"Midnight Song"

Following the Rhyme of Song (Southern Dynasties) "Midnight Song" IV

Chán Zhōng Shuō Chán I

The moon has set, no wind stirs,
What ever shall my heart do?
Night after night I lie awake,
Afraid to see my love in dreams.

II

Spring rain, mountains beyond the clouds,
Autumn wind, islets upon the river.
Through wind and rain, two backward glances —
Each glance turns out to be you.

III

Walking on and on and on,
Walking on with nothing to do.
Not plucking plum blossoms on a snowy night,
Not sending thoughts of longing.

IV

My heart, a heart of gold and stone,
My love, a love of ice and snow.
Gold and stone dissolve into the bright moon,
Ice and snow illuminate the moonlit night.
