Background: This poem was written on February 20th, 1968, 1968. It was written by the author in the process of bidding farewell to Beijing Railway Station and taking the 4: 08 train to jump the queue in rural Shanxi every day.
As a member of the educated youth team who went to the countryside, when I was about to leave my hometown Beijing, the author's heart was suddenly strongly touched. This kind of affection includes his attachment to his hometown, mother, civilization and perhaps his fear of the unknown future.
With a stroke of a pen, he recorded that touching moment.
Original poem:
This is Beijing at 4: 08, and an ocean of hands is turning. It's 4: 08 Beijing time. A sharp whistle sounded. The tall buildings in Beijing Railway Station suddenly shook violently. I looked out of the window in surprise. I don't know what happened.
My heart suddenly hurts. My mother's buttoned needle and thread must have penetrated my chest. At this time, my heart became a kite, and the thread of the kite was in my mother's hand. The rope is so tight that it will break.
I had to stick my head out of the window lattice of the carriage. Until then, until this time, I realized what had happened and told other voices that they were about to sweep the station.
I finally caught something, no matter whose hand it is, I can't let go. Because this is my Beijing and my last Beijing.
