Love Life
Author: Wang Guozhen
I don't think about whether
I can succeed,
Since I have chosen a distant place,
I only care about the hardships.
I don't think about it,
whether I can win love,
since I love roses,
I dare to reveal my sincerity.
I don't think about it.
Will there be cold wind and rain behind me?
Since the goal is the horizon,
What is left to the world is only the back.
I don't think,
whether the future is flat or muddy,
as long as I love life,
everything is expected.
Love Life can be said to be one of Wang Guozhen's representative works. This poem expresses the philosophy of why we should love life with four affirmative answers. The four paragraphs, seemingly similar, have their own interests. The four paragraphs take "success", "love", "struggle" and "future" as images to analyze and answer. These four images are not difficult to understand, not confusing, not uncommon and difficult to understand, which can be said to be completely different from the characteristics of obscure poetry, which is mostly arrogant, which helps poetry succeed and promotes its decline. On the contrary, Wang Guozhen's poems turned his back on aloofness and even improved the rhythm.
Love Life is also a lyric poem that is very suitable for reading aloud, and can also be read as an inspirational poem. I believe that as long as there is love in my heart and a love for life, all good results are expected.
