The introduction of Hongzhu’s poems is as follows:
Read an excerpt of Wen Yiduo’s “Red Candle”:
Hongzhu! ?
Who made the wax to give you a body? ?
Who lit the fire—the soul? ?
Why do we need to burn wax into ashes,
and then emit light?
Mistake after mistake;
Contradiction! conflict!
Red candle! ?
No mistake, no mistake! ?
The original purpose is to "burn out" your light.
This is the natural way.
Red candle! ?
Once it’s made, burn it! ?
Burn it! Burn it! ?
Burn the dreams of the world,
Boil the blood of the world——?
Also save their souls,
Also Break out their prison!
