这些都是日本的老人家写的三行诗, 看起来好像挺有趣的, 细品竟然慢慢都是无奈和感伤
他们之所以写下这些诗句, 是因为一个叫做“银发川柳”的比赛, 这个比赛从2001年就开始举行,
- These are three-line poems written by Japanese old people. They seem to be very interesting, but the details are gradually helpless and sentimental. The reason why they wrote these verses is because of a competition called "Yinfa Chuanliu", which has been held since 2001.
