介绍（中）	这幅画描绘了黄穿越云贵两省的危险旅程，这是中国帝国后期历史上最著名的孝道行为之一。1643年，黄的父亲被任命为云南知县，此后近十年，黄一直没有收到父母的任何消息。不知道他们是否在1644年明朝灭亡后的战争中幸存下来，他于1652年从苏州的家中出发，跋涉1400多英里寻找父母。在他生动的出版叙述中，黄描述了他在云南农村与父母团聚之前所经历的许多苦难。他最终护送他们回家，完成了558天的往返旅程这幅手卷是在他回国三年后绘制的，记录了旅程中最艰难的部分，包括危险的山路和他面临审问的军事驻地。贫穷、受伤、哭泣的他经常不得不说服武装部队，他不是间谍，只是为了寻找父母。在他的题词中，他表示希望这幅画能"驱除仍然困扰着他的噩梦"。
介绍（英）	This painting illustrates Huang Xiangjian's perilous journey through Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces in one of the most celebrated acts of filial piety in late imperial Chinese history. In 1643 Huang's father was appointed county magistrate in Yunnan, and for nearly a decade thereafter, Huang heard nothing from his parents. Not knowing whether they had survived the ravages of warfare following the fall of the Ming dynasty in 1644, he set out in 1652 from his home in Suzhou and traveled over 1,400 miles in search of his parents. In his vivid published account, Huang describes the many hardships he endured before being reunited with his parents in rural Yunnan. He eventually escorted them back home, completing his round-trip journey in 558 days. Painted three years after his return, this handscroll documents the most arduous portion of the journey, including treacherous mountain trails and the military garrisons where he faced interrogation. Impoverished, injured, and sobbing, he often had to convince armed troops that he was not a spy but was merely trying to obtain passage in search of his parents. In his inscription, he expresses the hope that the painting will "exorcise the nightmares" that still haunted him.
