Dear Peter, 
I'm glad to receive your letter where you asked me about a Tang poem—Sympathy for Farmers. The poem by Li Shen is popular with folk literary readers.  
This poem that is made up of four lines is not complicated to recite. It has vivid pictures:Hot as it is outside at noon in summer, the farmers are still working in the fields. They are wet all over with their sweat falling into the soil, where the crops grow. But who knows all the delicious dishes on our table come from the hard work of farmers?
The poem reminds people of the farmers' hard work. I think it's of great importance for the young to understand the poem and treasure every grain.
Yours,
Li Hua 

Dear Jim, 
I'm very glad to hear you're interested in Chinese culture.
I'd like to recommend the Chinese Poetry Competition to you. It is a TV program broadcast on CCTV-1 at 8:00 every Friday night. As we all know,Chinese poetry has a long history. Most poems rhyme at the end of the lines, which makes poems really beautiful. I believe the program will help you gain a better understanding of Chinese culture.
If you want to know more, please let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
