What does it mean to meet an old friend in another country?

"A long drought meets the rain, and an old friend meets another country" means a long drought meets the rain. When I lived in a foreign land, I met my old friend.

"After a long drought, we meet an old friend in another country" comes from Wang Zhu's Spectacular Poems.

Excerpts from the original text:

The sun and the moon are in the sky, and the mountains and rivers are strong and the emperor is born;

Peace cannot be reported, but hope to write for a thousand years.

I met an old friend in another country after a long drought.

Wedding night, for the first time.

The earth pulse moves in the sun, and the young flowers are full of new eyes;

When a plum branch breaks, everything recovers.

The willow color is soaked in green, and the peach blossom reflects wine red;

Traveling in Chang 'an, you get drunk with the spring breeze every day.

Appreciate:

Life will inevitably be frustrated, when frustrated, stand up straight, don't sell yourself short, the sun will rise tomorrow; Life is bound to have its moments of pride. When you are proud, you should stick to it. Don't get carried away, and don't be crazy if you succeed. Getting carried away just reveals some hooves and claws that should not be exposed, and success is not far from despising tomorrow's sun.

About the author:

Wang Zhu was born in Yinxian (now Yinzhou District, Ningbo). Fu Yuan, a scholar for three years, is a college student in Guan Wendian. He is young and clever, and he can write poems at the age of nine, so he is called a prodigy of Wang. Father Wang Yuanji is the county magistrate of Yinxian County. When Wang Anshi was the magistrate of Yinxian County, Wang Yuanji was recommended to transfer history because of his personal character, and was asked to be in charge of the legal affairs of Mingzhou Prefecture (judicial participation in the army). It was because of his skillful teaching that he heard about the imperial court. After Wang Zhu's death, he was posthumously awarded the title of "Doctor Zhengfeng", which gave him higher preferential treatment. The book left behind is "An Exegesis of the Spring and Autumn Period".
