近几年中国城市的迅速向外扩张已吞并了不少像荷花这样的乡村，二十年前这些尚是一望无垠的稻田。

The rapid outward expansion of Chinese cities in recent years has swallowed many villages like He Hua, which 20 years ago was an expanse of paddy fields.

今人又言心电感应有道，吾亦望其言是实，则吾之死，吾灵尚依依旁汝也，汝不必以无侣悲。

I also hope what people believe in, thinking there are mysterious connections between our hearts, is real; then my soul shall always be with you after I die, and you may not grieve for being lonely.
