What is poetry if there is an afterlife?

If there is an afterlife, be a tree,

Standing forever. Without sad and happy gestures,

Half in the dust,

Half of them are flying in the wind;

Half in the shade,

Half bathed in sunshine.

Very silent and proud.

Never rely on, never look for.

If there is an afterlife, it will become a gust of wind.

Instances can become eternity.

No sentimental feelings, no sentimental eyes.

Half of them are free and easy in the rain,

Half of them travel in spring;

Lonely, lonely travel,

Take away all vague ideas,

Never missed, never loved;

If there is an afterlife, be a bird,

Through eternity, there is no trouble of getting lost.

There is ardent hope in the East,

There are warm nests in the south,

Drive the sunset back to the west and awaken the fragrance to the north.

If there is an afterlife,

I hope that every time we meet,

Can become eternal.

There is a rumor on the internet about the poems included in San Mao's "Write to Yourself".

The original text is not a poem, but a paragraph. From Qiu Qiong's novel "Everything I have done in this life", originally published on the website of Tea Tianxiang.

Later, it was added by internet people, similar to the poem "The farthest distance in the world", which was rumored to be Tagore's poem, but it was actually a collective creation.

Sanmao (1943- 199 1 year 65438+1October 4th), female, formerly known as (Mao) Ping (later renamed), a modern writer in China, was born in Dinghai, Zhejiang (now Dinghai District, Zhoushan City). 1943 was born in Chongqing and moved to Taiwan Province province with his parents.

1967 went to Spain to study, and then went to Germany, the United States and so on. 1973 settled in the western Sahara desert and married Jose. 198 1 After returning to Taiwan Province, he taught at the Cultural University. 1984 resigned from his teaching post and concentrated on writing and speaking.

Sanmao's works are emotional and real, without too much whitewashing, but they show the true colors of life, wisdom and interest of life. In her works, there are no flowers and months, very much in love, and the chirping words described in general love works. Even though she wrote about her life when she fell in love with Jose before marriage in Marriage, she only wrote about how they sat on a bench in a Spanish park in the cold wind and thought about how to solve the problem of food and clothing.

Sanmao experienced gloomy girlhood and troubled youth and middle age, which made sadness the keynote of her works. This sensitivity to pain has always remained in Sanmao's character and has had a great influence on her later writing.

She pays attention to herself and the world around her with kind, sad and pitying eyes, so the lines in her works are always full of sad beauty. For example, in The Dumb Slave, Sanmao successfully portrayed for us an image of a black slave who lives in deep suffering and has no personal freedom, but is full of love and wisdom.

In his article, San Mao drew many sketches of people and scenery. What she writes is always primitive and natural, without any artificial carving. The characters portrayed by San Mao also reproduce the real characters by sketching their appearance and language. Based on the reality of life, Sanmao showed the contradictory and unified character of characters in many aspects, which left a deep impression on people.

Sanmao's works are full of lyrical colors. Whether in novels or essays, her writing always reveals the femininity and delicacy of women. The hotel in the desert describes the pleasure of eating Chinese food with foreign husband Jose: the difference between Chinese and western food cultures has not become an obstacle to their harmonious life, but has become a source of happiness for the couple.

Marriage records the dramatic process of her hasty marriage with Jose in the desert, and all kinds of absurd and solemn wedding ceremonies are intertwined. ?
