Inside Story

This was a letter Lu Yu wrote to a relative. Although it had been just a couple of months since they separated from each other, it was getting hard to hear from him and he wondered when they could meet again. He wished that the relative would come home soon. They would be proud of him if the relative could make great achievement in the imperial government.
