  [b]Empathy for Farmers
  
  Hoeing under the midday sun
  Sweat dripping into the tilled soil
  Do you know in a plate of rice
  Every grain is yielded by such toil?

  Li(3) Shen(1) is correct. As for the name of the poem, mine is Min(3) Nong(2).

  Hmm... what about Li(3) Qing(1) Zhao(4) from the Song Dynasty?
  
  But I am not familiar with her poems.

  ThatÂ’s all for today my friends.
  
  Although I am more comfortable with English poems but I am also trying to read up on Chinese poems. If I quoted the wrong poems/poets do let me know okay.

  Another expert here.
  
  Try this,
  
  A Bitter Love
  
  A fair lady draws the curtain of beads
  Knitting her delicate brows, she quietly sits
  Wet stains of tears can still be seen
  For whom does bitteerness grieve her hearts within

  No birds flying over hundreds of mountains,
  No footprints left on thousands of paths.
  An old fisherman with a straw hat and coat,
  Fishing on a boat in the cold snow.

  Hee hee I know the answer.
  
  But the translation I have (not from me) is this,
  
  Hundreds of hills with no flight of bird
  Thousands of paths with no trace of men
  A solitary boat, a bamboo cloak
  An old man fishing in the cold river-snow
