How to let you meet me
At my most beautiful moment

——Xi Murong "A Flowering Tree"
This poem "A Flowering Tree" is one of my favorite poems. The first time I saw it was in Xi Murong's first collection of poems "Qili Xiang" .
At that time, I was young and full of expectations for life. When I first read this poem, I was struck by the delicate, warm and lonely emotion in the poem. The touching feeling it brought to me is still unforgettable even after many years.
We Chinese people pay attention to the art of subtlety when speaking, especially in the field of poetry, we pursue the subtle state of "not saying a word, but being romantic". Just like boys and girls who are passionately in love during adolescence, even if they are interested in each other, they will often only express their affection in a relatively tactful way at first.
Therefore, at the beginning of the poem, the poet gently asks in a questioning tone: How....
This warm, nervous and slightly shy tone vividly portrays the image of a girl who has just begun to fall in love, making readers feel as if they have traveled through time and space, put themselves into the girl's vision, and revisited the story. Back when I was still a boy and girl.
This kind of confession of "I just want to meet you in my most beautiful years" is probably the purest emotion in our lives.
Moreover, the object of this emotion is not limited to love. It can be a confession of family affection or the expectation of friendship.
When the poet once participated in the "Straits Poetry Society" in Fujian, she recounted the process of writing this poem. She said that she was teaching at Hsinchu Normal University in Taiwan and accidentally discovered it while taking a train through the mountains of Miaoli. There is a tung tree full of white flowers swaying in the wind on the hillside.
At that time, she thought, "How can there be such a tree, so carefully covered with flowers, with no green leaves visible, standing on the hillside like a canopy. But , just when I was about to take a closer look, the train turned and the tree was no longer visible."
It was this casual glance that led to the later "A Blossoming Tree".
And isn’t this the beginning of all the beautiful emotions in life?
I met you in the most beautiful years, like a blooming tung tree, and I want to show all the beautiful aspects of life in front of you.
Some people say that all encounters in life are the result of five hundred years of hard work in the previous life.
For this reunion, we are always working hard to prepare the most grand ceremony in our own way:
"Grows by the road you must pass,
p>
The flowers bloomed cautiously under the sun,
Every bloom is my hope in the past life. ”
Despite this, we don’t need to overturn our passion. , in exchange for a piece of attention that is neither salt nor light, and end up with such a lonely ending: "The trembling leaves are my passion for waiting, and when you finally pass by indifferently...it is my withered heart":
All blooming youth deserves a better place with someone who understands your beauty and is willing to stop for you and listen carefully to your thoughts.
After all, five hundred years of expectations should not be let down no matter what.
"Turn me into a tree and grow it on the roadside that you must pass by." Such a confession is not unaffectionate, especially when coupled with "five hundred years of longing". It also makes people feel the strong and persistent heart of the protagonist.
If I had to use one language to describe this feeling, it would be:
Before I met you, I didn’t know what love was;
In After meeting you, I only hope that you will be the one who will accompany me throughout my life;
Three meals a day for two of us for four seasons is my most affectionate expectation.
For me, Xi Murong's poems always have an invisible charm. They are time albums made of pure emotions and beautiful artistic conception.
When reading her poems, you can experience not only the touching artistic conception in the poems, but also the precious fragments in your own memories.
The melodic language is like a piece of moving music, making readers unable to help but immerse themselves in the smart and jumping text, following the author's perspective to relive the deep memories. A touching and heartwarming picture.
The famous poet Yan Xian once said: "Modern people have begun to doubt love. Xi Murong's view of love seems to be re-establishing faith in modern people."
Xi Murong's poems , it is precisely because of this unique charm that she examines life from a delicate and tender perspective unique to women, and then uses some common things in life to express the strong emotions deep in her heart.
It seems inappropriate to say that her poems are poems. If you read them carefully, you can clearly see that they contain the romance of prose and the tenderness of poetry and painting. Inadvertently, they directly touch people's souls and evoke The cries deep in the human soul.
I have always felt that poetry contains the author’s perception of life. It is like a jar of fine wine stored in a cellar. Different years can bring people completely different tastes. Reading Xi Murong’s poems , reading it ten years ago and reading it ten years later are two completely different experiences.
Ten years ago, when reading her song "A Blossoming Tree", one would feel a sense of loss. That faint sense of loneliness could easily make people regret the beautiful moments they missed in their youth.
Many years later, when I look back, that feeling of loneliness has long been diluted by time. Whether sad or happy, it has already become a part of our lives, pushing us forward and making us what we are now. Life.
Even if I see the phrase "withering heart" again, I will only think: Isn't this our life?
Childhood dreams have long become "clutter" deep in our memories. In order to grow, we have made too many choices. The gains and losses at that time may no longer matter now.
After getting used to the adult world, I can recall the long-lost warmth through Xi Murong's poems. That kind of silent touch makes me intoxicated the most.
