On Ba Jin's Ancient Poems

moon

Every time I look at the bright moon in the sky, I think: is anyone watching the moon by the fence at this time?

The full moon is like a mirror, hanging in the blue sky. We should all stay in the mirror. There must be someone in this mirror.

Looking at the mirror on a cold night, I only feel cold light on my face. Facing the cool moon, I feel the same way.

On the sea, on the mountain, in the garden, in the street, sometimes in the quiet night, I stand alone on the high platform of the city. When I look at the bright moon, I always feel that cold light and cold air invade my body. One winter night, standing in a small yard, I saw the moonlight on the frosty ground and felt a thick layer of frost on my clothes.

Indeed, the moonlight is very cold. I know that dead planets don't release heat. The light of the moon is the light of death. But why is there a legend of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon? Can that beautiful woman who took the elixir of life revive this lifeless planet? Or she saw someone's face in the mirror.
