    Thirsty, hungry, they bore all manner of hardships;

    Where would they have a home to call their own again?

    They prayed to heaven, earth, and their ancestors,

    Not to let them run into the Jurchens.

    Truly, better be a dog in days of peace

    Than a human in times of war!

    From The Oil-Peddler Wins the Queen of Flowers

    There’s an old Irish curse: may you live in interesting times. Sadly, we’re there.
