Poetry in Everyday Speech

Your best friend is moving abroad for work. Write a farewell card message (200–400 characters) that weaves in at least three classical lines people still quote at partings, such as 劝君更尽一杯酒, 莫愁前路无知己,天下谁人不识君, 海内存知己,天涯若比邻 or 但愿人长久,千里共婵娟.

  • At least three classical lines, each quoted at a fitting moment
  • Quotations introduced naturally (正如…所说, …说得好) or woven into a sentence
  • Personal memories of the friendship
  • Warm good wishes to close (一路顺风, 前程似锦)

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
