Through a dream and a poem, we glimpse the lifelong devotion to poetry, wisdom, and the beauty of life of scholar Ye Jiaying (Florence Chia-ying Yeh, 1924-2024). Her poem, ADream, depicts a cactus blooming without being watered — a symbol of resilience and the quiet strength to flourish amid adversity. Life may be like a dream, but pursuing what we value and sharing the beauty of Chinese poetry give it lasting meaning.
