2: You, look at me for a while, and look at the clouds for a while. I think when you look at me, it's far away, and when you look at the clouds, it's close. -"Far and Near" from Gu Cheng
Everything is clear, but we still miss it in a hurry, because you believe in fate and I doubt life. -"Miss Gu Cheng"
4. I have never been known by anyone, so I have not been forgotten by anyone. ? Living in other people's memories is not my purpose. Meeting is a matter of two people, leaving is a decision of one person. ? Meeting is just the beginning, but leaving is to meet the next one; This is a world where one person is gone, but we are not good at saying goodbye. -Gu Cheng
5: I need the craziest wind and the quietest sea. -Gu Cheng
6: The grass is bearing seeds and the wind is shaking the leaves. It's beautiful that we stand without talking. -"In front of the door" from Gu Cheng
7. The night gave me a pair of black eyes, but I used them to look for light-Gu Cheng's generation.
How I wish there was a doorway where the morning sun could shine on the grass. We stood there holding our doors and windows. The door is low, but the sun is shining. The grass is sowing and the wind is waving its leaves. We just stood and said nothing, and everything was fine. -"In front of the door" from Gu Cheng
9: I have never been known by anyone, so I have not been forgotten by anyone. Living in other people's memories is not my purpose. -Gu Cheng's Early Seeds
10: I hope every moment is as beautiful as colored crayons. ? I hope I can draw on my beloved white paper, draw clumsy freedom, and draw eyes that will never cry. ? A sky, a feather and leaves belonging to the sky, a light green night and apples. ? I want to draw the morning, dew and smile that I can see. Draw all the youngest love. -"I am a wayward child" from Gu Cheng
1 1: You should be a dream, and I should be a gust of wind. -"You and Me" from Gu Cheng
Sleep and close your eyes? The world has nothing to do with me —— Gu Cheng's Fantasia of Life
13: loss of the holder. I lost my poem when I wanted to be a poet. When I wanted to be a person, I lost myself. When you don't want anything, everything comes as planned. -"Lost" from Gu Cheng
14: Time is running out and the world is still long. I'm in the middle, so I should have a rest.
15: The alley is curved and long, with no doors or windows. I took an old key and knocked on the thick wall-the alley of Gu Cheng.
Introduction to Gu Cheng:

He is an important representative of China's misty poetry school, and is known as a contemporary "Romantic" poet. Gu Cheng has high attainments in new poetry, old-style poetry and fable poetry. The phrase "The night gave me black eyes/I used them to look for light" of his generation became a classic sentence in China's new poems.
Gu Cheng/Kloc-started his writing career at the age of 0/7, contributing to various newspapers and magazines. 1987 began to travel to Europe for cultural exchange. 1988 lived in seclusion in Rapids Island, New Zealand, and lived a self-sufficient life. 1993, 10 year10.8, he killed his wife Xie Ye with an axe and hanged himself under a big tree.

Characteristics of works
Fairy tale stage
1969 to 1982 is the early stage of his creation, and his overall style is bright and pure. There are two creative peaks in this stage-from 1970 to 1972 and from 1977 to 1982. Gu Cheng wrote many works of genius during this period. He focuses on beautiful, pure and bright things in nature, supplemented by rich and strange imagination, creating a charming and incredible artistic space for readers and an ideal fairy tale world for himself. He is a born poet. His creation at this time depends not on social experience, but on his sensitivity to everything and his innate talent. Of course, he is also thinking and exploring attentively, and his poems also reveal a little nothingness and decadence.
The language of Gu Cheng's early fairy tales is concise, with the characteristics of children's language, ethereal and pure, short sentences and beautiful artistic conception. The delicate artistic feeling mixes all sounds, sounds, lights and tastes into a wonderful world. Children can be said to be a unique image, and the image of children in Gu Cheng's poems has its own unique meaning. The creation of such poetic images should be said to be quite successful. Image-building in performing arts, as a different style in art categories, sometimes has the same effect. Gu Cheng wrote fairy tale elements such as animals and plants in nature in his poems. Technically, personification is often used; From the perspective of writing, it is a childhood perspective; But in artistic style, simplicity comes from a childlike innocence. Gu Cheng's poems are very natural. Although his poems are far from the appearance of complicated social life, they are close to the real state of quiet and complacent cosmic life. This is precisely the truest and best state of poetry. Gu Cheng's poems are easy to read, and there are no obstacles in image, language and form. Gu Cheng's poems are generally short in sentence structure, uncommon in language, ordinary in words and pure and simple in words. In "I am a wayward child", the poet constructed a fresh and beautiful fairy tale world, and with the poet's unique imagination, he broke the shackles of the real world and realized his spiritual freedom. In Lonely Man in the North and Snowhouse of Eskimo, Gu Cheng not only realized the true meaning of marriage and love in the art world, but also devoted his life to pursuing it in real life, even fighting against secularism and morality for the true love in his heart.
transient period
The period from 1983 to 1986 belongs to the middle period of his creation, and the works of this period are a period of self-exploration and transformation of the poet, with different opinions. From this part of the works, readers can clearly feel the difference and connection with the works before and after, and this stage is the transitional period of the poet's creative transformation. The works of this period still have a strong fairy tale color, but they also have a deeper connotation. It may be that the conflict between reality and ideal has played a role in Gu Cheng, making him unable to continue to write simple poems. He has to deal with inner contradictions and pains, and he wants to change.
Dream stage
1987 is the later period of his poetry creation. After going abroad, Gu Cheng almost stopped copying poems, and he felt more and more that writing poems was the most basic and pure natural life phenomenon for him. His poems can be written anywhere, on old newspapers and waste paper. He himself said in Germany 1992, "I write very well on the island, and I always feel that when I have time", "But it doesn't matter if I keep it, and there is no place to put it". He once said that nine times out of ten, his poems were "written and lost". The poet thinks that the works of this period are his best and most emotional works. In the last few years of his life, he was completely in a state of "no self", completely independent of the times and following dreams, thoughts and inspirations. Poetic language and its image have a kind of broken beauty. On the surface, it seems that he has returned to the state of just writing poetry, but he is building a fairy tale world as a teenager. Now, he is building a fairy tale world. But in any case, the beauty of fairy tales runs through his whole creation, which we can't give up when reading and analyzing Gu Cheng's works. Even later, he still looked at the world through the eyes of a child, but at that time he already had an adult body and a heavy heart. His pursuit of the beauty of fairy tales has never changed, and even as an adult, he is obsessed with building his own utopia on an island.
