I looked behind the frame that held
a portrait old and rare.
And behind that frame I beheld
another portrait there.

Beneath the man there was a child
with a bright and hopeful look
below the tight-bound macho shroud;
the youth the man forsook.

A hundred years the manly face
concealed the patient boy
who longed to grace the human race
with undiluted joy.

Now says that child, without a sound
"Let blissfulness abide.
Please keep our portrait turned around,
to show the lighter side."

Finish your beer--There are sober people in China!
