original work
This is Beijing at 4: 08, this is Beijing at 4: 08, and the hand sea is turning. This is 4: 08 Beijing time. A sharp whistle sounded, and the tall buildings in Beijing Railway Station suddenly shook violently. I looked out of the window in surprise. I don't know what happened, but my heart ached suddenly. My mother's buttoned needle and thread must have penetrated my chest.
At this time, my heart became a kite, and the thread of the kite was in my mother's hand. The rope was so tight that it was about to break, so I had to stick my head out of the window lattice of the carriage.
Only then, until this time, did I realize what had happened. Other voices are about to sweep the station. Beijing is at my feet, moving slowly. I waved my arm at Beijing again, trying to grab her by the collar, and then shouted to her: always remember me, mom, Beijing.
I finally caught something, no matter whose hand it is, I can't let go, because this is my Beijing and my last Beijing.

Creation background
1at the end of 968, a frenzy of millions of young people going to the countryside began in Beijing and spread throughout the country, affecting thousands of households. This poem was written on 1968,1February 20th, 968. It was written by the author in the process of bidding farewell to Beijing Railway Station and taking the 4: 08 train to jump the queue in rural Shanxi every day.
As a member of the educated youth in the countryside, when I was about to leave my hometown of Beijing, the author's heart was suddenly strongly touched. This kind of affection includes his attachment to his hometown, mother, civilization and perhaps his fear of the unknown future. No one can predict the years of the Cultural Revolution. Maybe this is their "last Beijing".
