2. "Thank you"
Wang Guozhen
How can I thank you?
When I walk up to you
I want to harvest a spring breeze.
You gave me the whole spring.
How can I thank you?
When I walk up to you
I want to take a spray.
You gave me the whole ocean.
How can I thank you?
When I walk up to you
I want to pick a red leaf.
You gave me the whole maple grove.
How can I thank you?
When I walk up to you
I want to kiss a snowflake.
But you gave me a silver world.
3. Creative background
This is a poem written by Wang Guozhen, a famous poet and alumnus of Jinan University, to commemorate the centenary birthday of Jinan. Wang Guozhen said that if he hadn't studied in Jinan, his life might have been another track. Moreover, he does not deny that the multiple identities of poets, painters and musicians are related to the influence of multiculturalism in Jinan University. "Harmonious but different multiculturalism has deeply influenced me so far, and I enjoy my happy creation in different artistic fields."
