Where are you going?
It's late
Beautiful train
Lonely train
Sorrow is the sound of your whistle.
Reminds people of many things.
Why shouldn't I wave a towel?
Passengers have something to do with me more or less.
Go ahead. I hope you have a safe trip.
The bridge is solid and the tunnel is bright.
Poetry Reading-Train (Lu Jinbo)
Little darling:
Are you okay in college? Can you get used to it? Do you get along well with your classmates and teachers?
First of all, we're fine, and so is your brother. You don't have to worry. Sending you to the train that day was the first time in your life that you went away to study alone. It rained heavily that night and the wind was very urgent. It's dark outside, and your mother is not feeling well. It's hard to persuade her to stay at home and video chat with your mother more. Your train leaves so late, and the city you are going to is thousands of miles away. I've never been there. Unknown places are always disturbing. At that time, I really wanted to accompany you, but considering that you are eighteen and an adult, it is time for you to go out and see the world alone.
I'm still worried about sending a woman a thousand miles away and finally saying goodbye. Looking at the slowly starting train, I seem to see the figure that I once studied alone in the distance. At that time, I was also very excited and felt that I had finally grown up, except for a sword. How handsome it is to travel around the world with a sword, and how beautiful this memory is. But when I think of you, I feel lonely. The train travels alone on this thousand-mile road. The howling mixed with the sound of wind and rain seems to be telling its bitterness. I know you should start to miss us at that time, because I also think of many things, all kinds of emotions come to mind, and tears can't help falling.
It seems that someone always passes the next generation from one generation to the next. Your grandfather sent me out of the countryside, and now I'll send you to a farther place. Think about your cousin, people around us, even people we don't know. So are they. People always expect each generation to live better, and get better every day. Our generation has done its best, and it will depend on your generation in the future. There should be many people running with you on the train. They are your brothers and sisters, so they are my children. I think you won't be lonely soon. You can communicate, help each other and even play games together on the train.
To go forward bravely, young eagles always need to leave their nests, learn to fly by themselves and learn to fight the sky by themselves.
Borrow the end of a poem—
Go ahead. I hope you have a safe trip.
The bridge is strong? The tunnel is bright.
