I never want to throw away a piece of paper,

Save it forever.-Save it,

Folding into a very small boat,

Throw it into the sea from the boat.

Some were blown into the window of the ship by the wind,

Some are wet by the waves and stick to the bow.

I still fold it every day without losing heart,

I always hope that a place can only flow where I want it to go.

Mom, if you see a small white boat in your dream,

Don't be surprised that it dreams for no reason.

This was folded by your beloved daughter in tears.

Wanshui Qian Shan, please bring her love and sorrow home.

works appreciation

The sparkling waves and surging tides revived the poet's childlike innocence of loving the sea; Green sea water and flying seagulls make the poet close to nature again. In the sea life about ten days after starting from Wusongkou, the three pillars of Bingxin's early philosophy of "love"-maternal love, childlike innocence and nature, only "childlike innocence" and "nature" can be revived and reappeared at this time, while "maternal love" can't be close because it is far away from her mother.

Therefore, the poet especially misses his mother, and even gets sick because he misses her, and recovers because he sees her in his dream. This poem expresses the poet's deep affection for his mother.
