It is a work by Bei Dao, who is also a poet of the Misty School. (It may also be Gu Cheng)
The title is "Life"
The content has only one word: "Net"
Of course Bei Dao's poems can move people not only It is because of its implicit and cold tone, but more because of the intellectual brilliance that flashes in his poems. He vividly describes "art": "Billions of brilliant suns/presented on broken mirrors"; he constantly thinks about the contradiction between the soul, the world and himself, "I will always be a stranger to the world/.../ To myself/I will always be a stranger" ("Untitled"); he understands that opportunities are rare and time elapses, "The clock hanging on the antlers has stopped/Life is an opportunity/Just once/Whoever corrects the time/Who will suddenly Growing old" ("Untitled"). Bei Dao's wisdom is a calm wisdom, with no pretense or excitement, no noise or questioning, only a quiet mind and simple language that complement each other, touching on the eternal truths about time and life. Therefore, he highly summarized "life" and used the word "net" to reveal the life status of all living beings, with a fable-like depth and precision.
Indeed, life itself is a web. There are webs of family affection and webs of hatred; there are webs of mutual help and webs of destruction; there are webs of kindness and webs of sin; there are webs of happiness. The web, and also the web of pain, are so densely packed and intertwined that they form a complex and diverse picture. Each of us is a knot in this network. No matter whether you are happy or not, willing or not, you are inextricably and inextricably connected with other people. No one can get rid of or even transcend this kind of relationship. state of existence. We exist because of this connection, and we have the joy of life, the spirit of attack, the courage to fight, etc. We hold the hands of our relatives, friends, teachers, colleagues and all familiar and unfamiliar people, and others also hold our hands. In this way, we hold hands and move forward together through thick and thin, weaving a network that is closer, more harmonious, and more cohesive.
Of course, people are not immune to worries, or they may stray into an emotional "maze" that is difficult to get out of, and fall into the pain of constant cutting and confusion, or even the tragedy of mutual harm. These may also make it easier for our fragile hearts to feel sad because they cannot break out of this net. But, perhaps, this is real life, the true face of life. Then, please calm down, listen to the cheerful main theme of life with a pious attitude, and leave the inevitable screams and all the unhappiness behind.
It should be noted that peace is also a kind of harmony.
