Funny Couplet: On His Father's Shoulders, A "Horse" The Young Son's Riding 林则徐 以父作馬 望子成龍

Funny Couplet
- (Allegedly) by (a youthful)Lín ZéXú
- Translated by Frank C Yue


On his father's shoulders, a "horse" the young son's riding;

The father wishes his son would become a "dragon",
the skies ascending.


以父作馬,望子成龍。
