Shu Ting's Poem to Mom

Your sad piano sound

From the tears in my dream

remote

Your dying smile

Like the last leaf.

On my foggy branch

anxious

Oh, there is no other way.

Can I sneak into you? mother

All the waves and starlight

You'll never remember

That thunderstorm afternoon

There's a struggle in your eyes.

Printed plants

Palm with loose feathers

It took me many years to understand.

Your handwriting on the window glass

Your protest before being destroyed.

Oh, wherever the wind blows.

Can't you bring my song? mother

May you forgive everything.

Judge yourself again for your forgiveness.

This kind of poetry involves the ordinary and true image of mother and the deep affection between mother and daughter in real life. The poet calls for his mother from the perspective of human nature and family. At the same time, it reduces the inevitable instrumentalism tendency in the past and increases some ultimate concern for people's existence value and state. Understanding Shu Ting's personal experience will help us better understand her mother image. Shu Ting 1952 was born in Fuzhou. 1957, my father working in a bank was sent to work in a remote mountainous area; The mother returned to her hometown in Xiamen with her children and an incomplete family. Shu Ting's mother is versatile and sensitive. She tried to protect her children from the wind and rain. Mother's weak and strong personality deeply influenced Shu Ting and gave her a unique life experience. She once said that part of her mother's blood circulates in her body; Her mother's misfortune educated her and made her adopt an unruly attitude towards life. Therefore, the lyrical image in Shu Ting's poems is always a gentle, quiet and strong female image eager for comfort and understanding, and also a female image good at comforting and understanding others. Therefore, the reason why the mother is sad is inseparable from the social background and family background at that time.
