Art and Sports
The sunset is especially mild while the world is filled with romance.
Though our life is busy, still, don’t miss the sunset.
On a spring day, the sky is painted with residual rosy glow,
At dusk on April 24th,
Let us slow down and step on the lengthening shadows,
Following the melodies of the Orchestra of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen,
Forgetting the busyness, embracing the sunset,
Let's enjoy the sunset of the spring, as time turns golden.
