He wenna
With the development of modern poetry, the use of various artistic techniques enables it to reflect the complicated social reality and life. The famous poet He's "Two Men" is a rare poem that reflects the contemporary interpersonal relationship. The whole poem is as follows:
two people
A chicken takes a bullet train from Wuhan.
A duck drifted from Lingdingyang to the shore.
God wrote a letter to them.
Set out for each other.
At dusk, he carries a tree on his back.
When I came back from the mountain, I found the house empty.
The sky opened her eyes and she painted makeup.
Looking back, I saw a cloud in the mirror.
Two blind people are walking at night.
One hand, the other head.
Remind each other, and as a result, they
Fall into the pond in front of the door together
Duck and chicken in a cafe with a small waist in Guangzhou
Drunk unconscious. He read a book.
Found evidence that she went home.

The first section puts contemporary interpersonal relationships in a grand background: China has a large population from rural to urban and from west to east, and a large number of people from all over China gather along the eastern coast. Chickens and ducks represent the floating population from inland to coastal Guangzhou and Guangdong natives respectively. They have been swept by the tide of the times and become an important force in China's 30-year reform and opening up.
The chicken and duck in the poem are two in one. Chickens and ducks are him and her, and she and he are chickens and ducks. They may be friends or husband and wife. Sometimes they are together, and sometimes they follow their own paths.
In the second season, like every China, he went out early and came back late, living and working in order to win a place in this highly competitive society and support his family. He came back from the mountain with a tree. This is a metaphor for his fatigue and loneliness. He wants to get comfort from his family or friends. As a result, the house was empty. This sentence is very important, suggesting that modern people live together, but they don't know each other. Why is the house empty? Very imaginative. Empty houses are also a contemporary reality in China.
The sky opened its eyes and it was dawn. She also started a day trip. When I finished painting my makeup, there was a cloud in the mirror. Not herself. Where did she go? Why can't she recognize herself? Don't many contemporary people often find themselves? One goes out early and returns late, which is very imaginative. He seems to have something to do with her, but they don't intersect. Modern people.
Two blind people walked at night/one with their hands and the other with their heads/reminding each other, and as a result/they fell into the pond in front of the door together. Two blind people show that everyone in modern society is blind and there are many blind areas. Together with their hands and heads, they still can't cope with this complicated world. They always hit the south wall of reality. Alas, poor modern people.
The last section is particularly interesting. Two northerners and southerners, originally unable to communicate, had a good time drinking together and had a good chat. After drinking coffee, they got drunk. This sake is not intoxicating, suggesting that they are soul mates and become bosom friends. But at the same time, he doesn't know her. Although she lives under the same roof, he doesn't even know where she is or where she has gone. He can only infer her thoughts and itinerary from the books she has read. She went home, but he didn't know.
Is it sad? Poor? This is the reality of modern interpersonal relationship, alienation in intimacy and proximity in alienation.
With metaphor, He's modern poems are somewhat absurd and realistic, showing the complexity and unspeakable contradiction and unity of modern interpersonal relationships, especially in this great era.
Perhaps this is also the beauty of modern poetry.
