Bing Xin was born in a rich, harmonious and warm family. She has been immersed in family happiness and brotherhood since she was a child. Growing up, she never left her mother's care and care. Now she has left her home in Wan Li alone and traveled across the ocean to study in a foreign country. This is really unbearable pain for Bing Xin, who is deeply attached to her family. When the boat arrived at Yokohama Wharf, she wrote three poems about her mother in succession in the cabin, and the paper boat was one of them. In this poem, the poet sent away his thoughts of his mother by paddling on a paper boat as a child, creating a dreamy artistic conception affectionately and naturally, which could not help but make people cry.
