Appreciation of Xu Zhimo's If You Are a Snowflake

What Xu Zhimo wrote was not "If You Were a Snowflake", but "The Happiness of Snowflakes". The first sentence was "If I were a Snowflake". The original text is as follows:

If I were a snowflake,

Handsome in midair,

I have to know my direction clearly-

Fly, fly, fly-

This land has my direction.

Don't go to that cold valley,

Don't go to the desolate foothills,

Don't be disappointed in the deserted streets-

Fly, fly, fly-

Look, I have my direction!

Flying in the air,

Identify quiet homes,

Waiting for her to visit in the garden—

Fly, fly, fly-

Ah, she smells like cinnabar plum!

I was naked at that time,

Ying Ying touched her skirt,

Close to her tender heart-

Ablation, ablation, ablation-

Into her gentle heart!
