萌豆凉地卧
大树盘烈阳
幼年饮冰凉
成人喝热灼
凉甜入口舒
灼涩咽喉浓
人生各阶段
对照方舒畅

Commentary: A seed can only germinate on cool and moist ground but the grown tree strives towards the hot sun. When we are young, we prefer chilled and sweet drinks; such as, soft drinks. As we mature, we grow to appreciate warm or strong drinks; such as, warm tea, black coffee without sugar, and even stronger liquor like brandy and rice wines. Why the change in palette? Perhaps it is because at different stages in life, the change in palette reflects our experiences and predicament. Through this, it relieves our inner sentiments.
