jiǔ Yuè jiǔ Rì yì Shān Dōng Xiōng Dì九月九日忆山东兄弟Remembering My Brothers East of the Mountains on the Ninth Day of the Ninth Month

by 王维 (Wáng Wéi)

dú zài yì xiāng wéi yì kè, měi féng jiā jié bèi sī qīn.
独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。
Alone in a foreign land, a stranger far from home; whenever a festival comes, I miss my family all the more.

yáo zhī xiōng dì dēng gāo chù, biàn chā zhū yú shǎo yì rén.
遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。
From afar, I know my brothers have climbed to the heights; all wearing dogwood, they find one person missing.
