The Old Soldier's Return (十五从军征)
Famous Poem written during the Three Kingdoms period of China.
In this scene, an old Cao Cao is touring the countryside when he hears a poem that brings him to tears.
Scene is from the Drama "The Advisors Alliance" (大军师司马懿之军师联盟)
Lyrics (English):
On a military expedition since 15, finally returning at 80.
On the way to a countryman: "who is in my home?"
"Look yonder is your home, overgrown with conifers and burial mounts."
Hare enters through kennel's hole, pheasant flies from the ceiling beams.
Wild grain grow in the courtyard, wild leaves grow on the well.
Picked grains as the rice, picked leaves for a broth.
Broth rice is quickly done, but I do not know to whom I would serve!
Step outside to gaze eastward, tears soak my clothes.
