Dear Peter,
I'm glad to receive your letter in which you asked me about a Tang poem—Sympathy for Farmers. The poem written by Li Shen is popular with folk literary readers.
This poem that is made up of four lines is not difficult to recite. It has vivid pictures: Hot as it is outside at noon in summer, the farmers are still working in the fields. They are wet through with their sweat falling into the soil, where the crops grow. But who knows all the delicious dishes on our table come from the hard work of farmers
The poem reminds people of the farmers' hard work. I think it is very important for the young to understand the poem and treasure every grain.
Yours,
Li Hua
