Literature Reference: 西忆岐阳信,无人遂却回。眼穿当落日,心死著寒灰。雾树行相引,莲峰望忽开。所亲惊老瘦,辛苦贼中来。——《喜达行在所三首 一》 杜甫 Westward I recall the message from Qiyang, yet none returned. Eyes strained at the setting sun, heart dead with cold ashes. Misty trees lead the way, Lotus Peak suddenly opens. My kin are shocked at my haggardness, having come through the hardship of the rebels. Source from 'Xi Da Xing Suo Zai San Shou Yi' by Du Fu.
