The stunning and desperate poem was written by an unknown beggar with outstanding talent and unknown surname.

Death Poem

The Nameless Beggar

My life experience is as muddy as a seagull. I walked through Zhou Nan with a bamboo pole.

In the evening, the rice bag is full of the waning moon, and the song board sings Xiaoqiu in the breeze.

Kick over the world with two feet and carry all the troubles of the past and present lives.

If you don’t eat now, why does the yellow dog bark endlessly?

I saw this poem for the first time yesterday. After reading it, I marveled that a beggar could write such a bold and arrogant poem, and was impressed by it. I can't help but regret that his talent is so brilliant, but he is reduced to the street, begging for a living all day long, eating the food he gets. And when I read the story behind the desperate poem, I was even more embarrassed and filled with emotion. I couldn't help crying!

The story happened in Jiaqing more than two hundred years ago, on such a cold winter morning.

On the outskirts of Tongzhou, the cold wind whimpered and the dead trees rustled. There was no one on the road to the county seat.

An old man in ragged clothes, carrying a bamboo dung basket on his shoulders and a dung fork in his arms, bent over and walked alone against the cold wind. This is an old man who picks up dung. Early in the morning, before dawn, he went out to pick up the excrement left by passing livestock on the road.

Suddenly, he stopped and saw a ragged, thin, frozen body curled up in the ditch of the road, with a thin layer of hoarfrost on it. Knowing that this was the beggar who died of hunger and cold last night, the old man sighed and shook his head helplessly. Is this the first time this has happened to him?

So as usual, he dealt with the beggar who froze to death and reported it to the state official in Tongzhou. When state officials ordered an autopsy, they discovered a poem called the Deadly Poem.

The state official began to write poetry. After reading the seven-character poem written by the beggar before his death, he couldn't help but cry. Out of respect for the beggar poet, the state official ordered the beggar poet to be buried on the spot, and a monument was erected called "The Tomb of the Yongjia Poet Beggar".

The Song of the Anonymous Beggar is a desperate poem with neat dialogue and good style. It has been widely circulated and has been well received by people.

This poem of despair can be called the first poem written by beggars in ancient and modern times. Even compared with the famous poems of despair written by famous poets, it can be called the best in the world.

The first half of the poem is full of Liu Yongji’s refreshing breeze, while the second half is full of arrogance, arrogance, boldness and magnanimity, which is remarkable. It can be concluded that the beggars who wrote poems are not ordinary people. They must have had a tortuous and tragic life experience. It's a pity that he only left one poem in his life.

Everything else, including his surname and family history, have become mysteries that can never be solved with his death.
