   • 忙翻包掏出鑰匙打開門，只見老爸站在陽台上，向外張望，晚風吹拂著他稀疏的白髮，那情景讓我心裡一陣酸楚，不知不覺中，淚已成行。 [MSC, trad.]

     From: 張鷹 (Zhang Ying), 《回家摁門鈴》 (When I Go Home, I Ring the Doorbell)

     Máng fān bāo tāo chū yàoshi dǎkāi mén, zhǐ jiàn lǎobà zhàn zài yángtái shàng, xiàng wài zhāngwàng, wǎnfēng chuīfú zhe tā xīshū de báifà, nà qíngjǐng ràng wǒ xīnlǐ yīzhèn suānchǔ, bùzhībùjué zhōng, lèi yǐ chéngháng. [Pinyin]

     I hurriedly took out the key to open the door. Dad was standing on the balcony, looking into the distance, his sparse grey hair blown by the evening wind. I couldn't help feeling a twinge of pain in my heart, and tears flowed down like a river.
