The original text of Li Sao, a compulsory Chinese course in senior high school.

Take a long breath to hide your tears and mourn the hardships of people's lives.

Although I am good at trimming my hair, I am embarrassed by it and I am eager to change it.

This is both a pity for Yu and a petition for it.

For the ideal cherished in my heart, I will not regret it a thousand times.

The resentment of practice is mighty and will never be seen by the people.

Many women are jealous of Yu's beauty. They say Yu is good at prostitution.

It is wise to stick to the rules, but correct your mistakes according to the rules.

Chanting rope ink chasing songs, competing with Zhou Rong.

I am so depressed and poor at this time.

I'd rather die in exile, but I can't bear it.

Raptors are not crowded because of their previous lives.

How can I be happy and how can I make my husband live a stable life?

Curse your heart, suppress your ambitions, but be particularly tolerant and angry.

Be innocent, die straight, and be thicker than the former sanctuary.

Regret not keeping the way, and it will be reversed after a delay.

I can't get back to the road until I get back to my car, and the journey is not far away.

After a long walk, the horse arrived in Xi, Gao Lan, and Pepper Mountain didn't stop.

I'll leave you if I can't get in. If you retreat, you will resume your first service.

Making lotus is making clothes, and picking hibiscus is making clothes.

I don't know. It's embarrassing. I feel like I believe it.

High risk is at stake, and Pei is far away.

Fang and Ze were mixed, but they didn't lose.

If you suddenly swim back, you will see four shortcomings.

Pei is colorful, not a badge.

People's livelihood has its own joy, and I am used to it.

Although my body has not changed, I can't punish my heart.

Translation:

I wiped my tears and sighed, how difficult the road of poor life is.

Although I like cleaning and am strict with myself, I was fired sooner or later.

They attacked me for wearing wormwood and accused me of collecting Isatis indigotica.

This is what I pursue in my heart, and I won't regret it even if I die many times.

Blame the king of Chu for being so confused. He never observes the feelings of others.

Those women are jealous of my charm and slander me for being coquettish and lewd.

Mediocre people are good at opportunism, breaking rules and changing policies.

Pursuing evil songs violates the standard of right and wrong and takes pleasure as the law.

I'm depressed and upset. It's hard to be alone now.

I'd rather die at once, my soul is scattered and I'll never do it.

Eagles and those finches are not a group, which has been the case since ancient times.

How can Fang and Yuan cooperate and live in peace with different aspirations?

I would rather compromise my mind and suppress my feelings, and I would rather bear all the reprimands and curses.

Keeping innocent and dying on the right path is praised by ancient sages!

I regret not seeing the future clearly. I hesitated for a moment, and I will turn back.

Turn my car around and go back the same way. Give up before you get lost.

I rode past the bluegrass and ran to Jiaomu Mountain for a while.

Since you have committed the crime of not making progress, come back and rebuild my old clothes.

I want to cut diamond leaves into a coat, and I want to weave a skirt with lotus flowers.

No one knows me, as long as my heart is really sweet and soft.

Hold my hat high and make my clothes long.

Although fragrance is mixed with clean dirt, only pure quality will not rot.

I suddenly turned around and looked into the distance. I would visit distant places around me.

Wearing colorful decorations gives off a strong fragrance.

Everyone has his own hobbies. I am used to dressing up.

Even if it is broken, it will not change. Can I be alert and hesitant?
