Li Bai's expansion of the ancient poem "Farewell to Friends"

This is my student Zhang Dacong's topic on Li Bai's poem "Send a Friend". In May, the theme of our series "Walking into Traditional Culture" was "Approaching Li Bai". My students and I collected materials about Li Bai's life creation, recited and understood poems together, and wrote articles and drew pictures on poems according to comments and my own understanding and imagination. Zhang Dacong's article is eloquent, just like a person quietly telling his distant story, so there is a faint sadness in his kind and natural tone:

You always tell me that parting is the beginning of the next meeting, so I comfort myself. But I always want time to pass slowly, and then slowly. I know we have to face separation again and again. The saddest place in the world is this farewell acie law. We came to the foot of Jingting Mountain, with green hills behind us and green water in front of us. Friend, when shall we meet again after this farewell? Let's sit down and recall the good times again! Do you remember? It was also at the foot of Jingting Mountain that I wrote such a poem, "Birds fly high, lonely clouds go to leisure alone, and we never tire of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain." After reading it, you repeatedly said that as long as you are with nature, you will never be lonely. But now, you are really gone like birds and floating clouds in the sky that day, flying away like grass, leaving Jingting Mountain with me, and my heart is so sad. You said that no matter how beautiful the sunset is, there will be sunset, and tomorrow will be a new sunrise. I'll be back. We'll meet again. Then let my endless disappointment and helplessness turn into a blessing to you! In the gorgeous glow, Ma Benxiao is singing loudly. Goodbye, my friend! Wave a hand, remember my blessing, write a poem and send you on a long journey:
