-Lu Xun
My love is on the mountainside;
To find her, the mountain is too high,
Bow your head and cry without touching your robe.
My lover gave me a hundred butterfly towels;
Give her back what: an owl.
From then on, you turned your back on me,
Somehow it scares me.
My love is in the city;
There are many people looking for her,
I can't cry when I look up.
My lover gave me a map of Shuangyan;
Give her back what: a jar of rock sugar.
From then on, you turned your back on me,
I don't know why I am confused.
My love is by the river;
To find her, the river is deep,
I can't shed tears when I tilt my head.
My lover gave me a gold watch;
Give her back what: antiperspirant.
From then on, you turned your back on me,
Somehow it makes me nervous.
My love is good at home;
I want to find her. I don't have a car,
You can't cry when you shake your head.
My lover sent me roses;
Give her back what: practice the snake in red.
From then on, you turned your back on me,
I don't know why.-let her go.

Lu Xun himself later explained that this poem was intended to "satirize the lovelorn poem that prevailed at that time" (the preface to the English version of Weeds), that is, "I was deliberately joking when I saw the lovelorn poem that prevailed at that time, such as' Ah, ah, I'm dying'".
