Farewell to Cambridge is a famous work by Xu Zhimo, a modern poet, and also a representative work of crescent poetry. The whole poem takes the emotional ups and downs when leaving Cambridge as a clue to express the deep affection for Cambridge's departure. The language is light and soft, and the form is exquisite and mellow. The poet paints a flowing picture by alternating reality and reality, which constitutes a wonderful artistic conception everywhere. It shows in detail the poet's love for Cambridge, his nostalgia for past lives and his helpless sadness at present, which is the swan song in Xu Zhimo's poems.
This poem was first published in1February 1928, Volume 10,No. 10, and was later included in Tiger Collection.
