I'm a tourist from the emotional desert,
I'm hungry, tired and sleepy.
I can see the light in front of your window from a distance.
It is attracting me-the lamp of my life.
I knock lightly, just like my heart beats.
you open the door for me.
You stare at me silently.
Are those tears shining?
you show me the way and hold the lamp.
I walked into your clean hut with anxiety.
I walked barefoot slowly and lightly.
But every step still left dust and blood marks.
You asked me to sit down in a comfortable armchair,
You poured me tea and water in a little panic.
I squint ── because I can't get used to the light, and
I can't get used to your mother's warm eyes.
My bag is small,
But what I carry is very heavy, very heavy.
Look, my hair is gray and my back is rickety,
Although I am still young.
A handful of water can quench my thirst,
One sip of wine makes me drunk,
A little warmth makes my whole body searing,
So, do I have the strength to bear your kindness and warmth?
I tremble all over, when your hand gently holds mine,
I can't help sobbing, when your tears drop on the back of my hand.
would you like to hold my hand like this and walk to the long distance of life?
do you dare to hold my hand like this and walk through the contemptuous crowd?
My life has flashed in an instant.
This sacred moment is the end and the beginning.
All the past has passed, and finally passed.
You have given me strength, courage and confidence.
Your tearful and smiling eyes are a purgatory,
Your glittering and translucent tears burn my soul,
I will soar in the flames like colorful clouds,
My mouth is full of painful and joyful songs ...
Appreciation: Ceng Zhuo, a "July School" poet and playwright, formerly known as Zeng Qingguan, born in 1922. In 1955, he was arrested and imprisoned for his involvement in the Hu Feng case. When he wrote his masterpiece "A Gift", he had already experienced a prisoner's life. At the end of 1961, Ceng Zhuo, who had been in prison for many years, finally returned to his home, where an ordinary and simple great woman had been waiting for his return. For a person who has traveled long distances in a lonely desert, such a reunion is unforgettable and unforgettable for life.
A Gift is a poem for a woman. In a passionate tone, the poem vividly expresses the true feelings of human warmth after suffering, praises the tolerant understanding and kind sympathy that brought great spiritual comfort and courage to the victims, and expresses the poet's sincere gratitude and praise for the sincere love in history and life disasters. The poem expresses a noble emotion that is both love and beyond love, a broad love based on deep understanding and trust, and a kind of human affection; At the same time, it also reflects the accusation of historical injustice and realistic injustice.
A brief analysis of the complex connotation of the emotion expressed in this poem and its significance in the specific era background.
This poem expresses a kind of complex emotion, with both the happiness of regaining freedom and the indelible trauma; There are both bright omens and difficult hidden worries, which are intertwined and difficult to sort out for a while, but the author expresses them with a calm attitude, with a leap in gentleness and a sharp in euphemism, thus giving readers multiple aesthetic feelings.
it is also an obvious feature of this poem to truly reveal the inner world and express emotional activities delicately. In the 196s, when "war songs" were popular, personal feelings were generally ignored and abandoned by poetry, its creation was really commendable.
