  This poem was composed by poet Li Zhiyi.
  
  Basically it's about this girl pining for her beloved, who lives on one end of River Yangtze, while she lives on the other end of the same river. Despite drinking from the same river, they never meet.
  
  "Jun1" does not necessarily have to refer to a husband. It can also be a more intimate way for a lady to address a man.
  
  Just sharing.

  the bottom paragraph:
  
  when will the river stop flowing
  when will my hatred(or pain) subside
  
  as long as his heart is as mine
  we will not give up these thoughts
  
  or something like that
  
  great poem mooku! had me turning off the rock music in the background to appreciate it better

  I like how the poet uses the river in her piece to project a vivid background image

  I'm glad there are people who like the poem, although I didn't write it.
  
  For those who don't understand Chinese ah, the Chinese esp... should really go and learn how to read and understand this poem in Chinese, because the much of the beauty is lost when you translate it to English, as with all other prose and poetry...
