Bing Xin’s two modern poems are "Stars" and "Paper Boat", the details are as follows:
1. "Stars"
Mother! When the storm comes, the bird hides in its nest.
When the storm in my heart comes, I only hide in your arms.
2. "Paper Boat"
I never forget to throw away a piece of paper, I always keep it - keep it.
They were folded into small boats and thrown into the sea.
Some were blown into the windows of the boat by the wind, and some were wetted by the waves and stuck to the bow of the boat.
I still keep folding them every day without getting discouraged, always hoping that one of them will flow to where I want it to go.
Mother, if you see a small white boat in your dream, don’t be surprised that it came into your dream for no reason.
This is what your beloved daughter folded with tears in her eyes, praying through thousands of rivers and mountains for it to carry her love and sorrow back home.
Bing Xin’s literary characteristics
When Bing Xin depicts characters, most of them do not use heavy ink and color, and they rarely use elaborate carvings. They only use sketching brushwork and a few light strokes to create the characters. Like the hibiscus emerging from the water, it appears freshly on the water. "Sister Liuyi", "Dong'er Girl" and "Little Orange Lantern" respectively portray the images of three girls living in different eras. Bing Xin created a series of ideal and perfect images of young women in her novels. Most of them are kind-hearted, gentle and beautiful, lively and generous, steady and dignified.
They are youthful and full of vitality. They win the dignity of women with their wisdom and talents; they win the respect of men with their brilliant achievements in their careers.
