This is from Mao Zedong's Beauty on the Pillow.
The young mermaid on the pillow
Author: Mao Zedong
Dynasty: modern
Sorrow piled on the pillow, the sea turns over the waves.
The night is long and the sky is always hard to understand. I have no choice but to put on my clothes and sit in the cold.
At dawn, all my thoughts are gray, and I am extremely tired and helpless.
There is no reason not to shed tears.

I lay on the pillow and couldn't sleep all night. Piles of sadness and sorrow are surging. What shape is it? Like a huge wave in the river and sea.
The night is long, and it is always difficult to light up. I have no choice but to get up, put on my clothes, look at the sky, count the cold stars and pray for dawn.
All night, although all my thoughts have been reduced to ashes at dawn, only my parting lover is left in my mind.
Looking up, I saw a faint moon sinking in the west. Faced with this situation, I can't help crying!
Extended data:
Mao Zedong married Yang Kaihui in the winter of 1920, and Mao Zedong went out for an inspection in the spring and summer of the following year. During the trip, Mao Zedong deeply missed his wife.
Overnight, thousands of feelings rolled like waves and came to my mind. I couldn't sleep all night, and finally stayed up until dawn, but I felt puzzled. Only my parting wife was in front of me. Looking at the waning moon hanging on the horizon, I can't help but shed tears of acacia. At this time, Mao Zedong was full of affection and couldn't help it, so he casually wrote this song "On the Beauty Pillow".
The first part of the word is about sadness and insomnia. "heap", extremely worried; "On the Pillow" reveals the tossing and turning state in my mind: "What are you worried about?" It's like "the sea turns over." This has almost the same artistic conception as Li Yu's famous Yu Meiren, "How much sorrow can you have, just like a river flowing eastward".
It can be seen how overwhelming the deep sorrow on the poet's pillow is! It happened that it was "always difficult to know" at this time, so when I was lonely and helpless, I had to "put on my clothes and sit on a few cold stars" to talk about my heart. The word "counting cold stars" is very interesting, from which we can see the loneliness and loneliness of the poet.
Write down the depth of injury. After a hard night's work, the poet remained with people at dawn, remembering only the beautiful image in the haze, and suddenly felt that "all thoughts have been exhausted." Looking up at the west at this time, only the waning moon is like a hook, how can the poet not shed tears on the moon! This reminds readers of the Song Dynasty poet Lv Benzhong's Picking Mulberries. "Hate you not like month, north and south, east and west. North and South, East and West, only with each other. "
"I hate you, but like Jiang last month, still full. If you are full, you will lose money. When will you reunite? " Perhaps, the author of "On the Pillow" has this feeling at this time.
Shang Kun profoundly wrote his own thoughts from the word "worry"; I closed my pen with a word "tears", which is very painful to remember. When writing this word, the poet was still a 28-year-old young man who had just left school. It is natural for men and women to have love. As the saying goes, "Ruthlessness is not necessarily a real hero."
The whole word is bright, smooth, frank, simple and interesting. The tenderness of "it's always hard to know in the long night, and you can sit up and count the cold stars when you are lonely" and the masculinity of "counting romantic figures to see the present" can coexist in one person's mind at the same time.
