First,I must say that I am very happy because Mindsay where I'm in now is a terrific place.I knew the first foreign e-friend who is an expert on Pride and Prejudice which I am reading.And I received the first foreigner's comment on my English writing.There's friendship everywhere.
I think I would get many stuffs which are different from ones in my country.In the other side,I believe that I can bring you lots of my country's things.
Well,today I will recommend you a poet who is my favorite.He is Xu Zhimo,or Hsu Chimuo.He was born in1873 and died in 1931.His young death is a tragedy of Chinese history of literature because he's the one who change the habit of Chinese poets' writing.
Now I will show you one of his most best-known poems.
Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again
by Xu Zhimo
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
The golden willows by the riverside
Are young brides in the setting sun;
Their reflections on the shimmering waves
Always linger in the depth of my heart.
The floating heart growing in the sludge
Sways leisurely under the water;
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant!
That pool under the shade of elm trees
Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;
Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds
Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?
To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream
To where the green grass is more verdant;
Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight
And sing aloud in the splendor of starlight.
But I cannot sing aloud
Quietness is my farewell music;
Even summer insects heap silence for me
Silent is Cambridge tonight!
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Gently I flick my sleeves
Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away
I don't know how many people know the poet in you western world,but he is my and a lot of Chinese people's favorite.So I recommend him.
