Snowman
Gu Cheng
In front of your door
I made a snowman.
On behalf of the clumsy me,
I kept you waiting.
You take out a lollipop,
A sweet heart,
Buried in the snow,
It will make you happy to say it.
The snowman didn't laugh,
Has been silent.
Until the sunshine of the hot spring,
Melt it clean. ...
Where are people?
Where is the heart?
A small pool of tears
Only bees
2. Appreciate:
The last two sentences are the finishing touch, which implicitly expresses the meaning that "sweetheart" is still there. Expressing one's will by supporting things is very implicit and has implicit beauty. The whole poem is shrouded in a fairy-tale atmosphere, which shows that great poets can express their beautiful youth with pure style. Poetry is not written as obscure as possible.

Gu Cheng has high attainments in new poetry, old-style poetry and fable poetry. The phrase "The night gave me black eyes/I used them to look for light" of his generation became a classic sentence in China's new poems.
1956 was born in a poet's family, and his father was a famous poet Gu Gong.

Personal achievements:
Gu Cheng is a representative figure of China's misty poetry school in the new period, and is known as a "fairy tale poet" who sees the world with a childlike innocence. Vague poetry, which rose in the late 1970s and early 1980s, was an important part of the exciting ideological and literary "liberation" trend at that time, and it was also the starting point of the new poetry movement in 1980s.
1975, he completed his masterpiece "Fantasia for Life" with prodigy-like talent, and established his own creative style. 1984 wrote "ode to the world", which is introspective and calm in style. Gu Cheng's poems such as Generation and Arc have become "misty poems" repeatedly mentioned in the debate on misty poems.
From 1987 to 1993, he wrote the only autobiographical novel Ying Er. His poems often create a fairy tale world far away from the world with jumping short sentences, blurred colors and mumbling monologues.
In the early 1980s, Gu Cheng's self changed from attachment to nature to attachment to culture. I have written works with strong speculative color and social consciousness, such as I am a wayward child, a generation, and the tomb of the Red Guards. Gu Cheng wrote many poems dedicated to Xie Ye. In these poems, there are fantastic ideas beyond reality, and they strive to pursue a simple and isolated world.
Evaluation summary:
Gu Cheng is an important poet of misty poetry school. When describing the development of new poetry in the history of contemporary literature, Gu Cheng is compared with Shu Ting and Bei Dao. As a poet who came into being at the historic moment, Gu Cheng was very "coincidentally" integrated into the historical process of the new poetry wave and became a member of it, or his poems had irreplaceable special poetic significance. Gu Cheng is a poet with supreme feelings. He feels with his soul and observes with his heart. Gu Cheng belongs to the kind of poet who sings softly with his soul, and is a pure spiritual writing. His poems are quiet and soothing, gloomy and calm, and there is no lack of vitality and vitality. Gu Cheng's death has become a heart disease for literary historians. The history of literature is not a criminal trial, nor is a literary historian a moralist. We just need to know people, discuss things and explore the poet's achievements in the art of poetry.
