为庆祝情人节，轻舟教学生们吟诵唐朝王维的《相思》：
相思
红豆生南国，
春来发几枝。
愿君多采撷，
此物最相思
Xiāng sī
Hóng dòu shēng nán guó,
Chūn lái fā jĭ zhī.
Yuàn jūn duō căi xié,
Cĭ wù zuì xiāng sī.
Love Thoughts
When those red berries come in springtime,
Flushing on your southland branches,
Take home an handful, for my sake,
As a symbol of our love.
诗人Poet: 王维 Wáng Wéi （701年－761年）Tang Dynasty
