"Paper Boat" Author: Bing Xin
I never abandon a piece of paper,
I always keep it - keep it
folded into small boats,
thrown from the boats into the sea.
Some were blown into the windows of the boat by the wind,
Some were wetted by the waves and stuck to the bow of the boat.
I still keep folding them every day without getting discouraged,
I always hope 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 entered the dream for no reason.
This is what your beloved daughter folded with tears in her eyes,
Thousands of rivers and mountains, please ask it to carry her love
and sorrow back home.
