少小离家老大回，乡音无改鬓毛衰。
儿童相见不相识，笑问客从何处来？
The Return of the Native
He Zhizhang
When I was young I left home； now an old man I return.
Though my accent is unchanged， my temple hairs thinner turn.
We don’t know each other — I and the kids I chance to meet.
They ask me to tell them where I come from with a smile sweet.
