—— Ai Qing
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land hit by the storm,
This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,
This endless wind,
And the gentle dawn from the forest ...
And then I died,
Even feathers rot in the ground.
Why do I often cry?
Because I love this land deeply. ...
Crying and asking the earth
Earth? Is this really a solid, vast, broad, forbearing, compassionate and life-giving land?
Is it really the "Mother Earth" that we greet with the most beautiful words, the kindest and warmest titles of human beings? !
Why does the earth, which loves everything, mercilessly make all the victims hate and despair at this moment? !
Why does the earth, which nurtures all beings, cruelly make everyone alive afraid and frightened at this time? !
The earth can't hold all beings, how can it become the earth? What kind of mother are you without the earth where all beings live together?
Aren't all those lives born of love? People born together are the spirits of heaven and earth. Why are they more unfortunate? !
Those small bodies, immature lives, and a sad word can't bear it, so you ruthlessly took it away.
Why do you want so many reckless children to experience such a short, cruel and bloody life? !
Earth, although you are a mystery to me at the moment, I don't believe you are really so heartless and meaningless.
I don't believe that a mother will suddenly go crazy for loving her children all the time.
Do you have any difficulties that you can't hide but can't say? Is it because of unbearable physical pain that you can't help shivering?
Because I believe that the earth, the blue sphere, is the most spiritual life in the universe after all.
She will definitely show her life behavior-she will cry, scream, get angry and get hurt!
But have we humans ever thought that she is a living body, taking care of her feelings and paying attention to her body? !
Look, humans! The earth has been tossed by us-
Forests are cut down, grasslands are disappearing, wetlands are disappearing, and green vegetation is destroyed-who has measured the embarrassment, embarrassment and humiliation of naked mothers? !
For gold, for silver; There are thousands of reasons for iron, copper and human beings-hollowing out the earth! Has anyone ever felt the pain of a woman taking out her internal organs? !
Open mountains and fill seas, destroy lakes and build cities, stop water and build dams, stop rivers and cut off water-who asked Mother Earth with poor blood vessels and no tendons if she had a heartbeat?
The fertile land in the village is lost one by one, and the cement buildings in the city are taller than one-who would have thought that the shoulders of Mother Earth could withstand such uncontrolled spread and oppression?
Not bad! Human beings live and die, and everything has a time limit.
As a short life on earth, can we only cry in despair?
Is it allowed that the sky is not the sky, the earth is not the earth, the mountain is not the mountain, and the river is not the river? !
Waiting for our last day-the end of the world? !
