What does love mean in the poem To the Oak Tree-not only your majestic body, but also your position and the land under your feet?

Love is not only that person (you), but also that person's thoughts and beliefs. Love is independence, respect, tolerance, and understanding, as if we were separated forever but depended on each other for life, and walked side by side with him through the storm.

The poem "Love-not only your stalwart body, but also your persistent position and the land under your feet" is meaningful, which sublimates the whole poem and seems to be no longer limited to the love between men and women. Shu Ting expressed a broader and deeper theme with "kapok" and "oak" as symbols.

As Shu Ting herself said: "Today, people urgently need respect, trust and warmth. I am willing to use poetry as much as possible to express my concern for (people). "
