A Chinese Couplet on Hakka
-by Anon
- Translated by Frank C Yue

The guest meeting the Guest -
You are a guest,
I am a guest,
All the guests are Guests a-visiting.

Reunion for the Family -
In the East lives a family,
The West, another family,
We are one big Family re-uniting.

客家對聯:

客相逢你是客我是客來客都是客
家團圓東一家西一家大家都是家
