Author: Haizi
From tomorrow on, I want to be a happy person;
Comb hair, chop wood and travel around the world.
From tomorrow on, I will care about food and vegetables.
Living in a house facing the sea, spring is blooming.
From tomorrow on, write to everyone I love.
Tell them my happiness,
What did the lightning of happiness tell me,
I will distribute it to each of them.
Give every river and mountain a warm name.
Stranger, I will also wish you happiness.
I wish you a bright future!
May you lovers get married!
May you enjoy happiness in this world!
I only want to face the sea and spring blossoms.
2. Appreciate:
"Facing the sea, spring blossoms" was written two months before Haizi committed suicide. The sea is the core image in Haizi's poems. It is broad, relaxed and full of vitality. It is the hometown of soul, struggle and ideal. It is the spiritual destination of Haizi as the "son of the sea" and the place where he can find true happiness. Facing the sea, spring blossoms, of course, is a mirage, but this is a bright and happy feeling that Haizi can feel.
Although the poet imagines a happy life on earth in his poems and expresses sincere wishes to everyone with plain and warm words, we still clearly feel the sadness implied in that frank tone. In the first chapter of this poem, the poet describes his imaginary earthly life. "Feed horses, chop wood, travel around the world", "care about food and vegetables", "I have a house facing the sea, and spring blossoms". Even if this picture is secular life, it is also a poetic pastoral secular life: there is no shortage of leisure, but there is no shortage of romance. If the lyric hero can really get rid of isolation and loneliness under the inspiration of this picture, then it can really be regarded as "a happy person". However, all these expectations are restricted by "starting from tomorrow", that is to say, "today" is unsatisfactory and unhappy. Today is doomed to be lonely and bleak, and it is doomed to be unable to integrate into the happy life of the world.
In the third chapter of the poem, the lyric hero left three most mundane and sincere wishes to the strange world: "I wish you a bright future/everything will be fine, all shall be well, and all shall be well, and you will be happy in the world", but he finally separated himself from the secular life with a sentence: "I only want to face the sea, and spring blossoms". The word "only wish" still says that happiness is yours, and "I" would rather face the sea alone and turn my back on the world. He gave his blessing to others, but it was difficult for him to find a happy life on earth. Readers will also feel sad when they think of the poet's suicide two months later.
Therefore, this poem often gives people a fresh and pleasant feeling at first reading, but after careful tasting, you will find a bitter spring water flowing through your heart with the poem.
