Below is Mr. Wong 's rendition of Li Bai's "To Wang Lun" which is a beautiful friendship poem.

李白: 贈汪倫
Li Bai (701—762): To Wang Lun

李白乘舟將欲行
忽聞岸上踏歌聲
桃花潭水深千尺
不及汪倫送我情
A boat I have boarded, Li Bai am I, and I’m all set to go,
When suddenly from on shore a din I hear, of stomping and singing I know.
The water in the Pool of Peach Blossoms is as deep as a thousand feet,
Deep not as the parting sentiments, to me, Wang Lun, you show.
