Bu operator
I live in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and you live in the lower reaches. I miss you every day, but I can't see you, so I drink Yangtze River water.
When will the water stop? When did this hatred ever happen? I only hope that your heart is the same as mine, and you will not live up to this mutual yearning.
Modern translation
I live in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and you live in the lower reaches.
I miss you every day and can't see you.
But * * * drinks the same river.
When will this river stop flowing?
When will this parting end? but
May your heart be the same as mine,
You will live up to this lovesickness.
short review
Li Chi Ngai's "Bu Operator" has won the charm of folk songs, such as bright and beautiful words, overlapping and circulating, and at the same time, it has the unique new ideas of literati words. We live by the Yangtze River and drink its water together, but we can't meet each other because we are separated. This feeling is like water flowing forever, and this hatred will never end. I can only wish you that your heart will always be the same as mine, and don't bear each other's homesickness. The language is ordinary, but the feelings are deep and sincere. The idea is very unique, won the charm of folk songs, and is good at love words. At the end of this word, it is written about eternal friendship in isolation, giving people the feeling that rivers and flowing water will flow forever. The whole poem takes the Yangtze River water as a lyric clue. The long Yangtze River water is not only a natural barrier on both sides of Wan Li, but also a natural carrier to connect with each other and send affection to distant places. It is not only the trigger and symbol of long lovesickness and endless hatred, but also the witness of eternal friendship and expectation between the two sides. With the development of ci poetry, its functions are constantly changing, which can be described as inexhaustible.
