In addition to being neat, it gives people the feeling that this poem is the poem written within the poem, like a Russian matryoshka doll, with a sense of hierarchy.
In terms of content, the last section writes about water, one *** and four lines of water. Water has a warm feeling. I drank three lines in one breath, one of which highlighted the complexity and anxiety in my heart, because I wanted to give you the water I wrote, but I didn’t know if you would accept it. I was struggling and entangled in my heart. Under this, I In order to calm my chaotic heart, I drank three lines in one breath, then left one line and gave it to you.
But the water froze into ice in your body, without any reaction, and I didn't receive any feedback. There is still no intersection between you and me that I expected. So, I write about the sincere flame in my chest, but I am still as gentle as writing water. I am not in a hurry to give it all to you. I leave two lines for myself to make tea, two lines for warmth, and only give away the remaining line.
When there is a power outage and the noise around you is quiet, this last line of fire can illuminate you, allowing you to slowly see me first, then read me, and then understand me. Two lines of making tea can be seen as something done while waiting. When waiting for your power outage, what you do when you read me shows that the inner uncertainty needs to be calmed by external things.
The two lines left until winter are because I am afraid that if you do not encounter a power outage, you will not have the chance to read me, or after the power outage, you read me but still cannot see me, and my longing for you will enter. Ways to keep warm after a cold winter.
On the whole, this little poem by Love describes a man’s love for a woman, represented by the two images of water and fire, and embodies the admiration, entanglement, complex psychology and everything in the man’s heart. The combination of the actions of sending water and fire shows us an image of a man in unrequited love who is as gentle as water, considers the object of his admiration, has true love, worries about gains and losses, and is anxious.
Author's comment
Not long after Mr. Yu Guangzhong left, Mr. Love left again. An era is over! They are the peak of poetry in this era. We look up at the mountains and stop at the sight! Silence! pay tribute! The poet Love is immortal. ——Liu Zhengcheng (calligrapher, writer, editor-in-chief of "The Complete Collection of Chinese Calligraphy").
I was shocked to hear that Mr. Love passed away, and I am deeply saddened! In the Mid-Autumn Festival of 1988, Love and his party returned to the mainland for the first time. I and my wife Yang Ni rushed from Sichuan to Guilin. Together with Professor Li Yuanluo of Hunan, Love and his party went to the Li River to admire the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This was the first time that poets from both sides of the Taiwan Strait gathered together at the Li Bai Festival after the ban was lifted in Taiwan. under the moonlight. I wrote a short article to commemorate this gathering.
Qiushi, the most important organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, published this article that year, which shows Mr. Love’s contribution to cross-strait cultural exchanges! I will enshrine this short article from thirty years ago in front of Mr. Love’s soul. Mr. Love will be immortal. Long live poetry! ——Ye Yanbin (poet, writer, former editor-in-chief of "Poetry Magazine").
