1. Chinese Verse of the Day:
李清照 (1084 - 1155)
一剪梅
紅藕香殘玉簟秋。輕解羅裳，獨上蘭舟。
雲中誰寄錦書來？雁字回時，月滿西樓。
花自飄零水自流。一種相思，兩處閒愁。
此情無計可消除，才下眉頭，卻上心頭。
2. The Umbrella Story ("人間有情") is the title of the theme song of a 1995 Hong Kong movie of the same name.
The title alludes to the storyline of the movie, which is a dramatization of the peoples behind the Hong Kong umbrella manufacturer Leung So Kee from its founding in 1885 onwards.
The phrase "the umbrella story" does not translate "人間有情".
A literal translation of "人間有情" would be "There is Love in the World".
Besides singing the theme song, Alice Lau is also one of the actors in this movie.
3. The Umbrella Story is a charming love song.
It is with disappointment that I can only find one instance of this song in YouTube:

4. The Lyrics in Traditional Chinese:
人間有情 -- 劉雅麗
微雨裡再次進入這把傘 永留雨裡看著你的眼
重張開心中一片思憶空間 看破了這個世界一切聚散
* 微雨裡再次轉動這把傘 轉成每次結聚與分散
人生的悲歡總與心中相反 人來來回回常常原地往返
# 難忘你的真情 我的真情
每點溫柔記憶 一生都不空泛
求明瞭是這雨傘季節總未冷
人仍然苦苦等愛戀的復還
尋回你的真情 我的真情
每點溫柔 甘於一世伴你平淡
求明瞭在這冷冷世界我心未冷
情留人間一生愛未會轉淡
Repeat *, #
雨傘裡跟你緊靠風的臂彎
從前情濃並沒有一絲退減
Repeat #
5. The Lyrics in Simplified Chinese:
人间有情 -- 刘雅丽
微雨里再次进入这把伞 永留雨里看着你的眼
重张开心中一片思忆空间 看破了这个世界一切聚散
* 微雨里再次转动这把伞 转成每次结聚与分散
人生的悲欢总与心中相反 人来来回回常常原地往返
# 难忘你的真情 我的真情
每点温柔记忆 一生都不空泛
求明了是这雨伞季节总未冷
人仍然苦苦等爱恋的复还
寻回你的真情 我的真情
每点温柔 甘于一世伴你平淡
求明了在这冷冷世界我心未冷
情留人间一生爱未会转淡
Repeat *, #
雨伞里跟你紧靠风的臂弯
从前情浓并没有一丝退减
