I don't regret being a poet all my life. No, I'll make a decision.

Huang Canran's The Afterlife expresses the poet's firm belief in being a poet. Even if there is an afterlife, he will choose the same path, which shows the poet's deep love for poetry.

Huang canran's afterlife:

I often think that if there is an afterlife,

I won't be a poet all my life.

I don't regret being a poet all my life. No, I've had enough,

I have a task, and I must finish it.

But if there is an afterlife, if there is a choice,

I want to be a person who doesn't have to think in the next life.

I will sincerely serve the masses without words.

But with practical actions; A street shoemaker, a restaurant waiter,

A hotel attendant who opens the door for someone else's luggage.

I will be more filial to my parents, love my wife and daughter and care more about my friends.

I will walk more roads, climb more mountains and raise more dogs.

Eat every restaurant on the street.

I won't smoke, drink coffee, go to bed early and get up early.

I can be poorer and wear the same coat forever;

You can also be richer and give all your money to the poor.

I'm poor again, always wearing the same coat.

Someone who now has my heart and wisdom.

People who don't need to read, think or write.

How happy I should be. I don't have to praise the sunshine.

Enjoy the sunshine. I wouldn't have to sing a hymn to others.

Be what I sing.
