00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:07.830 align:middle line:84%
"A Picture" for
Tiantian's fifth birthday.

00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:09.490 align:middle line:84%
Did you want to
explain the character--

00:00:09.490 --> 00:00:09.990 align:middle line:90%
Yes.

00:00:09.990 --> 00:00:10.890 align:middle line:90%
--Tiantian?

00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:14.700 align:middle line:84%
Actually, these poems are
for my daughter Tiantian's

00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:16.260 align:middle line:90%
fifth birthday.

00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:20.550 align:middle line:84%
Actually, I got
this her postcard--

00:00:20.550 --> 00:00:21.990 align:middle line:90%
one that being exile.

00:00:21.990 --> 00:00:31.150 align:middle line:84%
We separated each other
that time for over a year.

00:00:31.150 --> 00:00:33.040 align:middle line:90%
So actually, whole image--

00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:36.900 align:middle line:84%
the images came
from her postcard.

00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:40.230 align:middle line:84%
And her name,
actually nickname, is

00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:41.910 align:middle line:90%
like the power of the windows.

00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:45.870 align:middle line:84%
Tian, Tiantian, I
pair it with windows.

00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:49.590 align:middle line:84%
So that time, I don't
know when I can see her,

00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:53.430 align:middle line:84%
because she and her
mother not allowed

00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:57.010 align:middle line:90%
to go abroad to join me.

00:00:57.010 --> 00:01:01.710 align:middle line:84%
So we had been separated
for over six years.

00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:08.790 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, that was that moment
when I wrote this poem.

00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:11.610 align:middle line:90%
"A Picture."

00:01:11.610 --> 00:01:15.080 align:middle line:84%
Morning arrives in
a sleeveless dress.

00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:18.510 align:middle line:84%
Apples tumble all
over the Earth.

00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:21.240 align:middle line:84%
My daughter is
drawing a picture.

00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:25.470 align:middle line:84%
How vast is a
five-year-old's sky.

00:01:25.470 --> 00:01:28.260 align:middle line:90%
Your name has two windows.

00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:32.100 align:middle line:84%
One opens toward a sun
with no clock hands.

00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:34.680 align:middle line:84%
The other opens
toward your father,

00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.040 align:middle line:84%
who has become a
hedgehog in exile,

00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.280 align:middle line:84%
taking with him a few
unintelligible characters

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.770 align:middle line:90%
and a bright red apple.

00:01:43.770 --> 00:01:46.500 align:middle line:90%
He has left your painting.

00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:48.615 align:middle line:90%
How vast is a five-year-old sky.

00:01:48.615 --> 00:01:51.080 align:middle line:90%


00:01:51.979 --> 00:01:53.979 align:middle line:90%
画儿 给甜甜5岁生日

00:01:55.270 --> 00:01:57.750 align:middle line:90%
穿无袖连衣裙的早晨到来

00:01:58.090 --> 00:02:00.350 align:middle line:90%
大地四处滚动着苹果

00:02:01.460 --> 00:02:02.770 align:middle line:90%
我的女儿在画画

00:02:03.450 --> 00:02:05.990 align:middle line:90%
5岁的天空是多么辽阔

00:02:07.450 --> 00:02:09.370 align:middle line:90%
你的名字是两扇窗户

00:02:10.229 --> 00:02:12.970 align:middle line:90%
一扇开向没有指针的太阳

00:02:13.730 --> 00:02:15.800 align:middle line:90%
一扇开向你的父亲

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:18.530 align:middle line:90%
它变成了逃亡的刺猬

00:02:19.070 --> 00:02:20.670 align:middle line:90%
带上几个费解的字

00:02:21.290 --> 00:02:24.880 align:middle line:90%
一只最红的苹果离开了你的画儿

00:02:26.230 --> 00:02:28.820 align:middle line:90%
5岁的天空是多么辽阔
