If I send you a book, I won't send you poetry.
I will give you a book about plants and crops.
Tell you the difference between rice and barnyard grass
Tell you a barnyard grass
Terrible spring
? -Yu Xiuhua's "I Love You"
Barnyard grass and rice are similar, but even if they are similar again, rice will certainly be favored, but barnyard grass, just a weed, will eventually be removed.
A relaxed yearning for spring has become the extravagant hope of the other side.
I'm like that barnyard grass,
On pins and needles,
Strong but depressed,
Fear, inferiority, helplessness,
Longing for you ...
This is a poem by Yu Xiuhua, a poet with cerebral palsy. This woman, who has lived in the lower class for a long time and is physically disabled, holds mud in her arms, but yearns for the ultimate love. Her poems are full of agitation and call for love, but under this endless desire for love, it contains the bitterness of disillusionment with true love.
I've always been a dirty person/I met you/it looks like porcelain.
Love can give her powerful reasons, even the courage to abandon the soil and yearn for the moonlight. She is stuck in life, but she is extraordinary. Reading her poems, you will find that even if she falls to the ground and is covered with dust, she will spread her wings lightly and shake off the dust in her sky.
I ask to be a child of the sky/even if it takes back my inner wings.
"In her heart, there are no high walls, no bronze locks and dogs, and even no fences. You can walk in easily. " -Editor Liu Nian.
Before we met by chance, in this sadness of late autumn, how many forks in the road did we go through?
I have prepared charcoal fire, wine, simple days/and a daughter and a half you want.
She will also long for the purest love, sing for love, and let the cold flame of love illuminate the deep scars in her heart for one person. Her love is never official, but in the deepest part of her heart, she will gently shout out and tell you how much I love you. ...
We all like light.
Although it is fleeting.
But you're still you
Some names make my heart tremble when I shout.
-Yu Xiuhua, "The Wind Blows"
Yu Xiuhua, until now, people still have different opinions about her. This passionate and affectionate poetess is bound to appear in public view with another label: a poet with cerebral palsy.
She used to be crazy, clamoring to "cross half of China to sleep with you", and under the oppression of life, she reluctantly announced that "I just live by my face", but in any case, she gave up all the labels and symbols behind her, and her love, with her own unique imagination, will make you feel the same in one night.
We,
Have you ever made a terrible barnyard grass,
Carefully love a fruitless you.
