In his youth, Xu Zhimo has been pursuing ideals and beauty, but his love has always been in an unattainable holiness and nobility. Once he came into contact with reality, his fantasy was shattered and he pursued his "love, freedom and beauty" again.
1924, Xu Zhimo gave a speech about autumn leaves at Beijing Normal University. While he was full of ambition and brilliant, his feelings fell to the bottom. His love for Lin was ruthlessly cut off by Lin during this period.
After being separated for four years, the contradiction with Lu Xiaoman's husband and wife made him experience emotional setbacks again, and with all kinds of setbacks in his career, he had to fall into deep pain and confusion. This poem was written under such circumstances.

The poem "I don't know where the wind blows" can be said to be Xu Zhimo's "label" work. After the poem came out, as long as the literary world heard this chanting, it would be known that the son had arrived.
The whole poem consists of six sections, and the three sentences before each section are the same, with a lingering sound. This deliberately managed melody combination renders the atmosphere of "dream" in the poem, and also adds a bit of "dream" flavor to the singer.
People who are familiar with Xu Zhimo's family tragedy may be able to capture some shadows about this romantic history. However, it is always vague and diluted by a strong wind blowing from an unknown direction, so that the audience, like the singer, is finally intoxicated by this powerful melody, and Tao Tao is surprised.
