I visited Hong Kong for the first time last October and went out to Lantau Island to see the Giant Buddha. Ignoring the throng of sightseers the serenity of the area is a complete opposite to the densely populated metropolis. On the way back to the city I saw these people planting trees or bushes near the Tung Chung metro station. The poem is a distillation of the contrast between those two worlds.

the woodman
is not bothered
the woodman
is unconcerned
the woodman
cares not
for the city
