The love expressed in this poem is still of far-reaching significance to us after decades. Because love is an indispensable emotion in our life, without it, we will always feel lost.
What does the love between kapok and oak tell us in To Oak?
Love needs courage.
Shu Ting once said in True Water Without Fragrance: "Kapok is in the south, but oak trees grow in snowy areas." However, in To the Oak, the oak and kapok do cross the distance and depend on each other. She said, "I must be a kapok beside you, standing with you in the image of a tree." The most beautiful love is probably like this. Although two unrelated trees are far apart, they still have the courage to live together.
Just like the popular long-distance love now, it is the most time to test courage. Originally, the two people had a good relationship, but later they had to live apart because of study or work. At this time, without getting along day and night, the feelings of two people are most likely to be alienated because of distance.
Long-distance love has two endings: either love is better because of distance, or it breaks up because we are often not together. When two people give up something for each other, it really takes a lot of courage, just like kapok threw it to the original south for the oak tree and came to live with the oak tree in the cold north, giving up not only his hometown. When two people in love meet true love, the most important thing they lose is the courage to love each other. Otherwise, when you lose courage in love, you may not even have a chance to express yourself, so how can you get love?
Love needs equality.
The love between kapok and oak is equal, two independent and dependent individuals. It is by no means the love between Campbell, birds, dangerous peaks, fountains and oak trees. They shouldn't show off by the tall branches of oak trees; Either please sing to the oak tree; If you don't send coolness to the oak tree; If you don't want to increase the height of the oak tree to set off each other ... these loves are not equal, either taking what you need, setting off each other, or being persistent.
There is no doubt that such love, even if it starts from the face value, will eventually be three views. The most beautiful love is hello, I am not bad. The two men were evenly matched and helped each other. Like kapok and oak, the image of two independent trees.
So is love. We are all human beings. No one is nobler than anyone else, and no one is lower than anyone else. If two people are equal and ungrateful, they can go to the end.
