I was not yet twenty then, and I crossed the Ertix River clinging to a horse's neck.

那时的我还不满二十岁，我是抱着一匹马的脖颈渡过额尔齐斯河的。

Running together along the steep Banks of the Ertix, we chased the masses of wildflowers as they were washed swiftly downstream by the flood-waters.

我们一块沿着额尔齐斯的陡岸奔跑、追赶着汛期流水冲下的大片漂浮的野花。

That was the only group photo we ever took, in the reed flats by the Ertix, and on the back were vows in our own handwriting to stick together through thick and thin.

那是我们在额尔齐斯河边的芦苇地里照的唯一一张合影，背面有我们几个人亲笔写的、要患难与共的誓言。
