Impractical and unappreciated is Mr. Cheng, whose hair is like white
silk fiber; After having some wine, he calls himself just an old painter.
It is distressing to know of his severe punishment in far exile Toward
the close of his life, at a time when the fortunes of the Dynasty are
rising again. Hurriedly, he has already begun his long journey; I came
to the farewell party late and had not the chance of seeing him off
personally. This is going to be our permanent separation, I fear; The
resumption of friendly associations might have to be in the other world.
