Swallows have gone, and there is a time to come again; Willow withered, there is a time to be green again; Peach blossoms have withered, but they bloom again. But, smart, tell me, why are our days gone forever? Someone stole them: who is that? Where is it hidden? They escaped by themselves: where are they now?
I don't know how many days they gave me; But my hands are getting empty. Counting silently, more than 8 thousand days have slipped away from me; Like a drop of water on the needle tip in the sea, my days are dripping in the stream of time, without sound or shadow. I can't help but burst into tears.
whatever you go, whatever you come; What's the hurry between going and coming? When I got up in the morning, two or three oblique suns shot into the hut. The sun has feet, and it has moved gently and quietly; I also follow the rotation blankly. So-when washing your hands, the days pass from the basin; Eat. Sometimes, days pass from the rice bowl; When I am silent, I pass by my eyes. I realized that he was in a hurry, and when I reached out to cover it, he passed by the covered hand again. When it was dark, I was lying in bed, and he quickly crossed me and flew away from my feet. When I open my eyes and see the sun again, it will be another day. I covered my face and sighed. But the shadow of the new day began to flash with a sigh.
what can I do in the world of thousands of families in the days when I am flying away? Only wandering, only rushing; In the rush of more than 8 thousand days, what is left except wandering? The past days, like smoke, were dispersed by the breeze, like mist, evaporated by Chu Yang; What traces do I leave? Have I ever left traces like gossamer? I came into this world naked, and will go back naked in a blink of an eye? But it can't be flat. Why do you have to go this time for nothing?
You are clever. Tell me, why are our days gone forever?
Appreciation:
1. Writing background:
Mr. Zhu Ziqing's "Hurry" is a short and beautiful prose, and some people think it is an prose poem, but from the author's inclusion of this article in his collection of poems and essays published by Shanghai Yadong Library in December 1924, the author regards this article as a prose work. Because the first series of his "Trace" is a new poem. The second series is prose. And this article was just included in the second series of essays by the author.
This article, with 541 words, is Mr. Zhu Ziqing's first essay. The article was written on March 28th, 1922, and was originally published in the 34th issue of Current Affairs Newspapers and Literary Xunkan on April 11th, 1922. Previously, Mr. Zhu Ziqing's works were all poems. At this time, Mr. Zhu Ziqing changed his poetry creation into prose creation. The reasons are: first, the author's creative attitude determines, and second, the environment gives the author such a choice. Because the author is faced with various changes in society and people in the progress of the times, "I don't want to be far away, but I want to peel it off and look at it carefully." After reading it carefully, the author should make it clear that, naturally, prose is more suitable for revealing Mr. Zhu Ziqing's inner world than poetry, and more suitable for realizing his plain and natural aesthetic ideal.
Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote "Hurry" in 1922. At this time, it was just at the ebb of the May 4th Movement. The author is disappointed with the reality, and his mood is depressed and he can't help himself. But the author, just like Confucius said, is "sad but not hurt", hesitating but not depressed, and he stands on the standpoint of "neutralism" and persistently pursues it. He thinks: "Every process in life has its own independent meaning and value-every moment has its own meaning and value! Every moment has its considerable position in the continuous time. " Therefore, he should "step on the soil step by step and make deep footprints" in order to achieve "paragraph satisfaction". In his faint sadness, he revealed the author's low complaint about his heart, which also reflected the general mood of intellectual youth during the ebb tide of the May 4th Movement. So he wrote a paper called "Hurry", calling for cheering up and cherishing the time to forge ahead.
Second, ideological theme:
With rich imagination, the author not only vividly shows the time that has passed by in a hurry, but also profoundly expresses the author's frustration over the passage of time, his fear and sadness about "going to Japan is too short", which reflects the author's serious thinking about life issues. We should cherish time and life, and don't let days pass in vain.
