"Words of the Sun" - Ai Qing
Open your windows
Open your doors
Let me in, Let me in
Into your hut
I bring a golden bouquet
I bring the fragrance of the forest
I bring light and warmth
I bring dew all over my body
Get up, get up quickly
Raise your head from the pillow
Open your eyes covered by eyelashes
Let your eyes see my arrival
Let your hearts be like small wooden houses
Open their windows that have been closed for a long time
Let me bring bouquets, fragrance, and light
Spread warmth and dew into the space of your hearts
The poem "Words of the Sun" was written on January 14, 1942. It is a poem written by Ai Qing after he arrived in Yan'an. It is full of romantic flavor and is an endorsement poem of the poet. Ai Qing's life is a life of pursuing light. Some excellent poems either write about the sun or about torches or dawn. Judging from the history of Chinese poetry, ancient Chinese poets prefer to sing about the moon, its softness and brightness, purity and tranquility. We would like to thank Ai Qing, who filled the gap in poetry creation. In the blank space, he sang for us the beauty, kindness and truth of the sun, making us realize the importance of the sun.
