Author: Han Niu
I am a sail, full of patched burlap. I don't remember how long I have been away from Hong Kong.
But I know that it is still far, far, far away to reach the other shore.
The sea won't give me shore, and the sea doesn't believe in shore at all.
I am a sail, and I believe that the end of the sea is the shore. These are the unyielding last words of my Qian Qian ancestors who sank at the bottom of the sea.
I can only struggle in the peaks and valleys, and fate has never given me a serene blue sky and a calm sea.
The hurricane gathered thunder, lightning and heavy rain, tearing and burning my thin cloth sail.
The tilted mast is crying in pain, the cable is singing tragically in the storm, and the sea is surging and washing me. My whole body was covered with shiny salt particles, and the lightning cutting vertically and horizontally beat me bloody.
After sunset, I was still shining in the dark sea.
Behind me, on the distant shore, people caught a glimpse of me in the lightning. I was very young, and I flashed.
Appreciation of works: The author compares himself to a sail, sailing on the sea. Although the people on the shore are amazed, no one knows the hardships of the sail, going against the wind and breaking the waves. This expresses the author's personal experience and life experience.
