Wildfire is far away.
In your amber eyes
Silver ornaments of ancient tribes
Restrain a soft waist
Happiness is unpredictable, but it is a girl's dream.
Dandelions usually land slowly on the sea.
Ah, the waves are boundless
Born without bitterness.
It's not that suffering is gone forever.
When the flute and pipa are in the picture at dusk.
Awaken universal sadness
You gently bite the corner of your scarf in your mouth.
Standing so gracefully between the sea and the sky
Ignore: Your barefoot.
The alkali beaches and reefs you stepped on.
So, in the cover and illustrations,
You become a landscape and a legend.
Hui 'an women are Han women in several coastal towns in Hui 'an County, Fujian Province, China. The men there have been drifting at sea for many years, and "staying behind" is almost the reality of all Huian women. But for a long time, they have been silently enduring the bitterness of life and echoing the expectations of traditional culture with diligence, gentleness and filial piety. Shu Ting approached these women through her unique female emotional experience, and "Huian Woman" is a song of compassion for them.
Hui 'an, Fujian, is a place with "ten years and nine droughts, ten rains and nine floods" in history. Blockage, poverty and feudal stereotypes have brought a lot of suffering to Hui 'an women. Early marriage, permanent residence in parents' homes and collective suicide have left a shocking record in history. Hui 'an women's living environment is harsh in their social status, but from the outside world, Hui 'an women's kerchief, hat, coat, silver belt, antique clothing and natural graceful posture can be called a beautiful scenery, which won the general surprise and appreciation of Hui 'an women, and then appeared in the middle of the cover and illustration, becoming a landscape and a legend.
Poets with fraternity and keen insight saw the shallowness of the world from their shallow appreciation of Hui 'an's daughter under the general curiosity. The living conditions of the two sisters in their hometown in the south and the fate of women's "not suffering and not dying" in the world inspired the poet to plead for women and protest against the indifference of the world to the living conditions of women in Hui 'an and even the whole world.
"Wildfire is far, far away, in your amber eyes." From the amber eyes of Hui 'an women in reality, the poet thinks of ancient wild wildfires, which makes the images of Hui 'an women overlap with those of ancient ethnic women. In this connection between reality and history, Hui 'an women have an "ancient" color. And this kind of "ancient style" formed by the claustrophobia of history and culture and the isolation from external civilization is "beauty" and "scenery" in the eyes of the world, but it is a kind of heaviness in Hui 'an women themselves. "With ancient silver ornaments, the waist is soft and restrained", and the word "restrained" in the poem emphasizes the bondage of ancient traditions to modern women and vaguely reveals the "bitterness" of Hui 'an women.
Happiness is unpredictable. Happiness is just a beautiful dream for Huian girls, but in the face of the cold reality, their dreams can only slowly fall on the sea like dandelions and disappear with the waves. In the face of "eternal suffering", Hui 'an women silently endured, and the sunset shone late, and the sadness of flute and pipa awakened their inner sadness countless times, but they just silently endured, "biting the headscarf gently in their mouths". Hui' an women are so virtuous and beautiful outside, which naturally becomes a "landscape" that people appreciate. This view of treating women as "scenery" ignores the promotion of women's independent personality and living environment, ignores the sadness of women's "beauty", and makes the poet sad. Hui 'an female image is a poet's solemn protest against those ignorant and numb people, and also a sincere call for our society to respect women's personality independence and pay attention to women's living environment. Snow and winter have an agreement to melt it into colorful spring with sunshine.
