世外桃源

The writer Tao Yuan Ming lived during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (365-427 AD). It was a time of war in China.

Tao Yuan Ming wished everyone could stop fighting and live in peace. He dreamed of a fable. It went like this…

Once upon a time, a fisherman set out to explore a river.

He got in his small boat and began to row. The fisherman rowed and rowed and rowed.

He got so caught up in the rhythm of the rowing, he lost track of where he was. Still, he kept on rowing.

Along the way, the fisherman spotted some peach trees on the river bank covered with flowers.
