What does it mean in Gu Cheng's poem that "passers-by say the branches are low and passers-by say the branches are long"?

"I should have a rest in the middle" reveals the poet's boredom with life between the lines. He is an elf who doesn't belong to this noisy world, so he chose to run to a beautiful border. He lives for himself, purely for himself, whether he says "the branches are low" or "the branches are growing", let others say it.

Some people may say that death is just an escape from reality. However, they forget that life, humble life, is not an escape from death? When I say this, it doesn't mean that I think it's a good thing to beg for death. I just want to pray for peace and respect for this soul that will always be as holy as a child.

The tomb bed is Gu Cheng's best poem since 199s. The whole poem is serene and calm, as if an old man who sees through the world is whispering, but it is more like a heartless prophecy, revealing the poet's inner boredom and the results caused by boredom.

Extended information:

Gu Cheng (1956—1993), a representative figure of misty poetry, was born in Beijing in 1956. In 1969, he was transferred to Dongzhong Commune in Changyi County, Shandong Province with his father for five years. After returning to Beijing, he worked as a sugar worker and porter. In 1987, he was invited to visit European and American countries for cultural exchanges and lectures. In 1988, he went to New Zealand and was hired as a researcher in the Asian Language Department of Auckland University. After resigning, he lived in seclusion in Riptide Island.

I revisited Europe and America in p>1992 and committed suicide after killing my wife in October 1993. He left a large number of poems, calligraphy and paintings, and published The Complete Poems of Gu Cheng, the novel Ying Er and many essays.

The Tomb Bed undoubtedly exists with its literary value at first, but because of the author's mental journey and the author's final outcome faintly visible between the lines, it is enough to become the focus of researchers, that is, it has both literary and literary history values.
