It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves on the cool wind. In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, to the sound of them.

Autumn is a season and life is uninteresting. The free days always make me sad. But one day, the sound of a violin into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. A young girl, standing in the wind, was in playing her violin.
