It was first published in the supplement of Beijing Daily on July 2nd 1926, which is from the collection of poems "Dead Water".
The original poem is entitled "Maybe (for a girl who died of bad karma)".
The whole poem mainly tells about her daughter's sudden death.
Wen Yiduo still can't believe this is true,
Even after the daughter was buried,
I still think my daughter has just entered a deep sleep.
The first two lines of the poem "Maybe you are really tired of crying, maybe, maybe you need to sleep",
Showed novel ideas,
It laid the sad tone of the whole poem,
The poet's comfort to his beloved daughter,
The meaning of caressing,
And her desire to wake up from a dream is expressed by a word "sleep".
The word "sleep" has become the eyes and soul of the whole poem.
