Bu Suanzi Yong Mei was written by Guo Moruo on March 20, 1964.
Bu Suanzi ①·Yong Mei
I was sad when I saw the plum blossoms in the morning ②, but I am smiling when I see the plum blossoms now.
There was an east wind that brought pregnant women, and spring came with plum blossoms.
The wind and rain will be crazy, and the ice and snow will be proud.
Thousands of purples and reds came in groups, blowing bugles everywhere.

The article recalled: In 1964, when I began to use mathematical tools-the overall planning method and the optimization method in production and management, I wrote a poem and a letter to Chairman Mao, expressing my use of scientific knowledge for the cause of socialist construction. Chairman Mao immediately responded to the letter personally expressing his thoughts and determination to serve, giving him enthusiastic support. On March 20, the third day after Chairman Mao's reply, Mr. Guo wrote a poem "Bu Suanzi·Yong Mei". Encourage us to be plum blossoms that fight against the wind and snow and stand proudly against the frost.
Appreciation of the work
The first part of the poem describes two different images in a contrasting way, expressing two different spiritual worlds of sadness and laughter.
