Poems of Meng Jiao

望夫石
Amah Rock

望夫石 夫不来兮江水碧 行人悠悠朝与暮 千年万年色如故 |
Watching for her husband, Her husband never comes. Ah, river of jade. Travelers come leisurely, dawn to dusk, but Through the centuries, her face hasn't changed. |
-- 孟郊
废话
How far did Meng Jiao wander in his wandering years? As far south as present day Hong Kong, apparently. Amah Rock still overlooks Chengmen River (城门河) in Sha Tin, Hong Kong and the face of this rock which (vaguely) resembles a woman with a baby on her back is little changed since Meng Jiao was there.
