Recitation of Mo Yan's poem "How wonderful it would be if you understood me?": Huang Meiyu

Everyone has a blind spot.

You can’t get out, and others can’t get in.

I keep my deepest secrets there.

I don’t blame you if you don’t understand me.

Everyone has a wound,

either deep or shallow, covered with a cloth and thought it did not exist.

I smeared the reddest blood there.

I don’t blame you if you don’t understand me.

Everyone has a love,

with heart, affection, strength, touching and sentimental.

I hide my hottest feelings there.

I don’t blame you if you don’t understand me.

Everyone has

a line of tears,

drinking cold water, brewing hot tears.

I put my most poignant grievances there.

I don’t blame you if you don’t understand me.

Everyone has a confession,

uneasy and uneasy, but full of sincerity and courage.

I used the most lyrical language there.

I don’t blame you if you don’t understand me.

You will never see the time when I love you the most,

Because I love you only when I can’t see you.

Similarly, you can never see me when I am the loneliest,

Because I am the loneliest only when you can’t see me.

Perhaps, I am too good at hiding my sadness.

Perhaps, I am too good at comforting my scars.

From rain to sunshine,

I passed through mud and wind.

It would be great if you understood me along the way
