Xu Zhimo's "Accidental" is written for a lover (Lin) who falls in love by chance and then lives far apart. On the road of life, there are many accidental encounters and many beautiful things. They are just accidental encounters and will never be repeated. Whether it's lingering affection or touching friendship, whether it's a knowing smile on the street or a few love words on the trip, it's often a flash in the pan and disappears without a trace. How much of those lost beauty and love can be recovered? Time can take everything away. Clouds in the sky occasionally flash by in Bo's heart, which is really "no need to be surprised, let alone happy". Everyone has everyone's direction, we meet by chance, and then we will be separated in a hurry, and there is no hope of meeting again. Those "lights" that are released to each other when they meet, and those feelings that are poured into each other when they meet, "remember, it is best to forget."
Being able to visualize such an extremely abstract adverb of time as "chance" and put it into a symbolic structure is full of interesting philosophy, which is not only beautiful and elegant, but also catchy and memorable, and its significance is beyond words. For me, it is no exaggeration to use the language of "having a special liking" in Xu Zhimo's short poem "Accidental".
In the history of poetry, a thousand long poems can be buried in the relentless historical precipitation with the passage of time, while some exquisite short poems can shine alone in the long river of history. This short poem with two paragraphs and ten lines should be regarded as a wonderful flower in the modern poetry gallery.
