In August, 193 1, his third collection of poems, Tiger, was published. At this time, it was only four months before his mother died, and he should not have recovered from his grief. Three months later, he himself died in a plane crash.
This is also the last book of poetry published before his death. The famous Farewell to Cambridge and I don't know which direction the wind blows are included in this collection. The first article in Tiger Collection is this dedication.
In the same year,165438+1October 19, Xu Zhimo was killed in a plane crash. Later, his close friend Shao entrusted Chen to edit an anthology called Traveling in the Clouds, which was published in July of the following year, namely 1932.
This poem "Dedication" is the first one, but it was renamed "Wandering".
Xu Zhimo didn't write a second poem called "Traveling in the Clouds". The name of this anthology obviously comes from this little poem called Dedication, and now it is renamed Travel in the Clouds.
Lu Xiaoman wrote a preface for Journey in the Clouds, which was the first preface she wrote for Zhimo, but it also became the last one.
