You in old age
Picking up in the aisle of years
Young children
Crying under the eaves of years
Mothers who understand children
Children who did not understand their mothers
Mothers are a steelyard
Weighing their growth and
their own death. All mothers are mothers because their children are alive
countless children have become mothers
They have died one after another
People have been born one after another
There is only one grave to witness the mother's history
Only a few words have witnessed the sincerity of maternal love
Children are alive
Mothers are dead
This poem is highly different, and others express their thoughts from the little things in life. This shows the poet's extraordinary writing foundation and thought.
This poem begins with an old mother, who should be a beggar. The old beggar is a child's mother who feeds her children by picking up garbage. And the child is crying under the eaves, waiting for his mother to beg for food.
Then the children grow up and become other people's mothers, so the poet says/understands the children's mothers/never understood them/the mother's children/mothers are a steelyard/weigh the children's growth and/or their own death! Especially compare mother to a steelyard, with sophisticated brushwork and dignified thoughts! A few of us really understood our mother, and this sentence made us all feel distressed.
in the third stanza of the poem, the mother died. This poem is in chronological order and goes deep at different levels, which is really rare.
/ Finally, a child becomes a mother/mother becomes a memory/the time of one generation/the isolation of two generations /
A child becomes a mother, which means that this child becomes the mother of others, and then his mother dies.
pay attention to the following sentence: the time of one generation/the isolation of two generations. How to understand the time of a generation? It should be a generation of children. The isolation between the two generations should be that the mother raised the child, but the mother died.
/ Countless mothers are alive because of their children/Countless children have become mothers/They have died one after another/They have been born again /
Humans/Only one grave bears witness to the mother's history/Only a few words bear witness to the sincerity of maternal love /
/ Children live/Mother dies /
Why do you combine these two paragraphs? Because they are inseparable. What moved me most were these two paragraphs. The poet seemed to be watching in front of the tombs. I hope that the living women wrote the last paragraph, which continued from generation to generation, and then look at these desolate tombs and look at the epitaphs, writing the meaning of the last paragraph of mother.
Finally, the poet summarizes the meaning of mother in one sentence-the child is alive and the mother dies.
this sentence can only be understood, and any language is redundant in front of this sentence. In fact, the poet just wants to tell us that maternal love is a kind of fulfillment. It takes the mother's life to fulfill the child, and finally the mother dies and the child lives. This sentence can't let us say anything, only that language and words are pale and powerless in front of mother!
