"Actually/what I expected/was just that moment/I never asked for it/you gave me your life/if I could meet you on the hillside full of gardenias/if I could love you deeply once and then leave/then/a long life/no, just/just/look back on that short moment."
Don't care about eternity, just care about what you once had. This is a poem by Xi Murong. She can write love and separation so beautifully and so touching. In 1980s, young people piously copied Xi Murong's poems into carefully prepared excerpts. Xi Murong's thin book "Li Qixiang" has spread all over Chinese mainland and become a classic love poem in the eyes of teenagers. Many years later, teenagers who have passed the age of "youth without complaint" occasionally dig out this dark blue collection of poems from the bookshelf, and when they read the profound and beautiful feelings that Xi Murong experienced, they will bloom like flowers again. Perhaps this is the charm of Xi Murong's works.
Xi Murong's works contain a wide range of contents. Time, youth, homesickness, love and affection are all themes in Xi Murong's poems, and love is one of the wonderful flowers in full bloom.
"How to let you meet me/at my most beautiful moment/for this/I begged for 500 years in front of the Buddha/begged us to have a dusty relationship/Buddha turned me into a tree/grew on the roadside you must pass/the sunshine was full of flowers/the blossoming was the hope of my past life/when you approached/please listen carefully/the trembling leaves were the enthusiasm I was waiting for/when you finally passed/on your face.
Whenever Xi Murong's poems are sung gently, teenagers will fall into an atmosphere full of warmth and tenderness. After reading the poem, the true and innocent feelings hidden in it will flow into the reader's heart from the author's pen, and the delicate and sensitive readers will feel that this sadness is the sadness they have suffered, and this love is the love they have never said.
Read more Xi Murong's poems, and a teenager's heart will be immersed in this love and the beauty of love for a long time. Later, I gradually realized that it was not so much the "beautiful love" in Xi Murong's poems that moved them, but it was the "beautiful love" that made them transcend the lingering feelings of their children and realized the poet's tolerant attitude towards love.
"When you are young/if you love someone/please/please be gentle with him/no matter how long you love each other/if you can always be gentle with each other/then/all the moments will be flawless and beautiful/if you have to part/say goodbye/thank him in your heart/thank him for giving you a memory/you will know when you grow up/when you grow up.
From this poem, teenagers appreciate a broader mind than love, that is, a gentle attitude towards the past, feelings and life. In Xi Murong's poems, all love is pure and beautiful. Even after all civilizations have fallen, people can still keep such a holy land on earth in their hearts. Xi Murong's poems never complain about love. Even if she missed something beautiful, her regret is a transparent sadness without any dark color.
Gentleness can also give people the courage to face life directly, which is exactly what China people who have just experienced the Cultural Revolution need most.
Reading Xi Murong's poems, many people think that she must be a flower in a greenhouse, and her life is dull and happy, and she has never experienced wind and rain and twists and turns. However, in reality, Xi Murong also suffered cold reception and injustice, as well as great setbacks in life. To some extent, she and Mozart have something in common. Mozart's life was hard, but what people heard in his music was only beauty and peace. Xi Murong's life was bumpy, but she digested the suffering and filtered the sadness, presenting the world with the same gentle and beautiful feelings as before. This is a kind of beauty, a proven and powerful real beauty.
As Xi Murong himself said, "I have always believed that there should be such a love in the world, which is absolutely inclusive, sincere, selfless and charming. If the world can't find such love, let it exist in my heart forever. " Xi Murong said it and she did it. When her poems such as Li Qixiang, Youth Without Complaints and Time touched thousands of readers, she conveyed this beauty to their hearts.
Under the guidance of these loving poems, young people who are hesitating for the great changes of the times are not blindly immersed in resentment and loneliness. Xi Murong and San Mao let them learn to love and discover the beauty of life. There are always some differences in love between teenagers in the 1980s and teenagers in other times. They pay less attention to material things and care less. They believe that the true meaning of love lies in giving without regrets. Even though their youth has yellowed under the exposure of years, their hearts remain white with flowers. Their growth path may not be so smooth, but with these immature poems, they can still live a rainy life. A person's mind needs some powerful encouragement and gentle and delicate comfort.
