In this poem, Du Mu describes a lonely traveller still on the road while others are already reunited with their families. The traveller's state of mind is echoing by the unceasing rain. Then, a sense of hope is conveyed when a shepherd boy points the traveller to the direction of an inn in Xing Hua Village where he is able to find shelter and lodging as well as Sakura wine (Image: via secretchina.com)
