What kind of white is sadness?
Poetry/Xie Yixing
.
You may think of some secrets.
Breast and sweet milk
When you see me, write down the rubber tree now.
But have you ever thought: I am one of them.
"We stand straight, as if just to
Waiting for someone to cut us. "
Rubber trees are getting taller and taller.
But the slaughter is inevitable.
Were there any sins in previous lives?
In my life, I was sentenced to death for life.
Year after year, knife by knife, drop by drop.
Who is more viscous, pain or blood?
If rubber trees can talk,
It will tell you what blood latex is.
What kind of white is sadness?
"Maybe because it is willing to bleed, so
Just dodged the chainsaw axe. "Maybe.
This is the law of survival! I touched my chest.
But who can heal so many wounds,
Who can hide those desires?
Rubber cutting machine that hasn't been launched yet.

I am Yuan Appreciation: Poetry is an affirmation of perceived value. The average person who goes to the oak forest to watch rubber tapping "may think of some secret breasts and sweet milk", but the poet is different. What he saw was a group of people who were "willing to bleed for survival, so/just escaped the chainsaw axe". They struggled to survive and were repeatedly cut by "rubber meat cutters" year after year. The law of the jungle, from the arrangement of writing, "What Kind of White is Sadness" is divided into five layers. The first level is from the beginning of the poem to the sixth line. Writing about those who have been sentenced to death for life is "waiting for someone to cut us down". On the second floor, from Line 7 to Line 10, ironically, people who have been sentenced for a lifetime, despite their efforts to endure "higher and higher tolerance", imply the confusion that "slaughter is still inevitable". The third layer, lines 1 1 to 14, depicts the "pain" of "knife after knife year after year". Fourth floor 15 to the first half of 18 "This is the law of survival!" It reveals the reason why rubber trees are repeatedly cut down and the fate law of the animal kingdom. On the fifth floor, which is the rest of the second half of line 18, "I touched my chest" until the end of the poem. At this level, our poet questioned the society in the form of complete doubt and pushed the whole poem to a climax. At the same time, it also shows the "people-centered" creative thinking and the moving charm radiated by the poet's collective feelings, which is moving.
"How White is Sadness" is probably a poem with meaning, but if you want to understand it thoroughly, you must also understand several key words such as "rubber tree" and "rubber knife" that have been sentenced to death all your life. But limited by my knowledge, I have no choice but to leave these words that I can't read well to readers to combine their own interpretation, affirm right and wrong, and understand what is "sadness" and what is "white".
