Everything in the world goes with the flow, but only a dream comes to an end. The road to Zuixiang is safe and suitable for frequent visits, but otherwise it is unbearable
——Li Yu's "Crying in the Night: Last Night's Wind and Rain"
Mr. Mei Er in Mr. Gu Long's novel "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword" When he came out, he recited a poem: The road to drunkenness often comes, and it is impossible to go anywhere else. Later I found out that it was a phrase. He said that people who like to drink hate the dawn and get a headache when they see it.
When I first read this paragraph, I just thought this person had a weird personality but was very cute, and I didn’t quite understand why those who drank had a headache as soon as they saw the light of day. Now it seems that he is just escaping from this evil world. It's not bright yet, everything can be covered in darkness, I drink my wine and you do your thing. With the cover of night, nothing seemed to be seen.
However, I cannot ignore the ugliness in broad daylight.
After all, it is the light in human nature that nothing can cover up.
I am neither willing to be an accomplice of this evil world, nor am I able to save the common people, so I can only turn day and night upside down in order to balance myself.
I haven’t read much of Mr. Li Yu’s early poetry. When talking about his early poetry in Chinese textbooks, they only say that his erotic poetry is huge and the rhetoric is gorgeous, which is untrue. After the fall of the country, the feelings were sincere and profound, and the artistic value was very high.
When I was young, I believed whatever the books said and what the teacher said. Only when I grow up do I realize that whether it is obscene poems or erotic music, they are all reflections of people in a specific environment. Joys and sorrows, separation and separation, happiness, anger, sorrow and joy are just reactions when something happens. As for the artistic content, that is the artist’s business. As a person who has walked in the world, his every word and action are precious. This is evidence of his survival as a living person.
The wording of this poem is exquisite, and the realm of life conveyed in the last four sentences can only be understood by those who have experienced the world. Life is like a dream. In the end, it is just like endless running water, but it is just a dream. Instead of doing this, it would be better to indulge in the wine country and quietly fall into silence in a dream.
Come, young men and strangers, I offer you a toast. I wish you a bright future and a happy life

Li Yu's "The Cry of the Black Night: Last Night's Wind and Rain"
Last night's wind and rain, curtains The rustle of autumn curtains. The candle is leaking, the pillow is broken frequently, and the pillow cannot be straightened when sitting up.
Everything in the world goes with the flow, and only a dream comes to an end. The road to Zuixiang is stable and should be visited frequently, but it is not possible to travel otherwise.
Translation: It was windy and rainy last night, and the curtains covering the windows rustled in the autumn wind. There was an annoying sound of wind and rain outside the window, which lasted all night long. There was not much candle left burning, and the water in the pot was drained. I kept getting up and leaning on the pillow many times. I can't even think calmly when I lie down or sit up. Things in this world are like passing away, and they are past. Thinking about my life, it is like having a big dream. The former glory and wealth life is gone forever. The roads in Zuixiang are smooth and there is no sorrow. You can go there often, but you can't go to other places.
