Paper boat-to mother
(Bing Xin)
I never throw away a piece of paper,
Save it forever.-save it.
Fold into a boat,
Throw it into the sea from the boat.
Some were blown into the window of the ship by the wind,
Some are wet by the waves and stick to the bow.
I still don't give up and fold every day.
I always hope that a place can only flow where I want it to go.
Mom, if you see a small white boat in your dream,
Don't be surprised that it dreams for no reason.
This was folded by your beloved daughter in tears.
Wanshui Qian Shan, please bring her love and sorrow home.
The feelings of missing my mother are abstract and easy to become empty when written. The paper boat has a novel idea, and uses the technique of supporting objects to express feelings, saying that he refused to abandon a piece of paper at sea and folded it into a paper boat and threw it into the sea. The whereabouts of the paper boat are unknown, but the poet still folds it every day and never gives up. Although she knew that the paper boat could not flow to her mother's side, she prayed that the paper boat folded by tears could carry her love and sadness caused by being far away from her mother and enter her dream. Deep feelings and strange imagination make this poem both vivid and concrete, and implicit and deep. Whether you have the same experience or not, this sincere and sad yearning is equally disappointing.
