Zhang Ailing's Poems on Gender Relations

A poem by Zhang Ailing about the relationship between men and women goes like this:

The original "Love":

It's true. There is a well-off girl in the village who is very beautiful. Many people came to be matchmakers, but they didn't say anything. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old that year. It was a spring night, and she was standing at the back door with a peach tree in her hand. She remembered that she was wearing a moon-white shirt.

The young man who lives across the street met her, but never said hello. He came and stood not far away and said softly, "Oh, you're here?" She didn't say anything, and neither did he. He stood for a while and then walked away.

Appreciation of love;

The eternal theme of "love", Zhang Ailing only has a pocket space of more than 340 words, which seems relaxed, but in fact it is faint. The language is pure and clean, not as gorgeous as before. However, the hardships and vicissitudes of a quiet life have been gently touched by her; And the helplessness and sadness of a love is also secretly aroused by her, which makes people feel sad and cry when they think about it.
