Kunming! I miss you.
Hello, Kunming!
For some obvious reason,
You and I have changed recently.
Now you’re quiet as if a pause button were hit,
While I have to put on a mask and close the door,
Day after day...
Walking on the Kunming streets,
I can't see the daily traffic flow,
Nor can I hear the hubbub of the past,
Let alone taste the favored snacks...
Kunming, are you Okay?
Kunming, I miss you a lot.

Hey, Kunming! I miss you.
I miss your roadside barbecues.
I miss grilled potatoes, stinky tofu, pork with pickled cabbage, across-the-bridge rice noodles, fried potato pies, cool jelly, and others.
I miss the dishes of potted rice noodles, rice noodles with tofu, cold rice noodles, rice noodles with catfish or others.
All these are traditional snacks in Kunming.
I also miss the morning roadside stalls that sell rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, fried dough sticks, and soybean milk or jelly.
Yet what I want most is the grilled Zhaotong meat strings.
The sizzling sound forms musical notes for me late in the cafeteria.
Kunming, I miss you so much.

Hello, Kunming! I miss you.
To be frank, I used to hate your crowdedness.
The he long queues at metro stations of Line 1, Line 2 or Line 3.
The packed bus stations during rush hours.
The crowds in milky tea shops, be it a HeyTea or a Song Tea.
And even the crowds of gull-feeders.
But now, I really want to be close to you.
I’d visit the Dianchi lakeside parks, the Green Lake, and the Western Hills for the folklores and snacks there.
Kunming, I miss you a lot.

Alas, Kunming! I miss you.
These days, the entire city is desolate.
Every day, I can only idle in my room,
Lazy and lifeless like you.
