"I Love You" / Yu Xiuhua
Baba was alive, fetching water every day, cooking rice, and taking medicine on time
When the sun is shining, put yourself in it, like a piece of tangerine peel
Tea leaves are taken in turns to drink: chrysanthemum, jasmine, rose, lemon
These beautiful things seem to take me on my way to spring
So I held down the snow inside me again and again
They are too white and too close to spring
Read your poems in a clean yard. This human affair
Trance like a sparrow that suddenly flies by
And time is shining. I am not suitable for liver and intestines
If I had sent you a book, I wouldn't have sent you poetry
I'm going to give you a book about plants, about crops
Tell you the difference between rice and weeds
Tell you a weedy tree to be afraid of
spring
She was originally a peasant woman with cerebral palsy who was trapped in the quagmire of life, and a popular love poem "Through Most of China to Sleep with You" made Yu Xiuhua well known to the public as a talented poet. Subsequently, his published poetry collections and prose collections were also loved by readers. Among Yu Xiuhua's poems, my favorite is not "Across Most of China to Sleep with You", but "I Love You".
"I Love You" is the first poem of Yu Xiuhua's first poetry collection,"Moonlight Falls on the Left Hand", and this "I Love You" makes people not tired of reading, and even the more they read, the more they make people head-on.
When I first read it, it was "This text is so good", and when I read it again, it was "This emotion is really good", and after reading it three times, I realized how heavy the affection and restraint contained in the words and sentences were.
Yu Xiuhua ,"Moonlight Falls on the Left Hand"
The title of the poem is "I Love You", but there is no "I love you", and each sentence is far better than a simple and straightforward "I love you".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="30" > Section 1: Bawang</h1>
(1) "Baba lives", Yu Xiuhua said that living is "Baba living", is it living with eyes and expectations, or is it a nervous life and a poor life, or a poor Baba, a living that gets by? She seems to have said it, but she didn't know exactly what kind of emotion she was referring to, just saying "Baba is alive", leaving a lot of room for aftertaste.
"Fetching water every day, cooking rice, taking medicine on time", it turned out that she was "living baba", so lonely and sad to live. Unwell, need to take medicine on time, live a lonely life, need to fetch their own water to cook rice. A few ten words, write the day's life. It is as if seeing a weak woman carrying a bucket through the farm yard, rushing between the wood stove and the well, or feeding herself a handful of conventional medicine, which is very graphic.

(2) "When the sun is good, put yourself in it, like a piece of orange peel", the sun came, the previous haze was swept away, and her mood became clear, but what did she want to put herself in? Why is it like putting a piece of tangerine peel?
"Tea leaves are drunk in turn: chrysanthemums, jasmine, roses, lemons", originally brewed a pot of tea, on a sunny day, she wanted to spread herself out in that good day and good tea. Suffering from diseases, even if she is as Zou Zou Baba as Chen Pi, she also has a free soul and a boundless territory of thought.
(3) "These beautiful things seem to take me on the road to spring", beautiful sunshine, tea, things make her have a strong impulse to love, they drag her to "spring", this "spring" is not only the spring of nature with green trees and red flowers, but also the spring of love and spring.
"So I hold down the inner snow again and again, they are too white and too close to spring", the world says that love is fiery, only Yu Xiuhua, she said that love is the inner snow, white and cold, only too white love, that pure throbbing is the love in her heart. She was so eager to love, so eager to love, but why did she "press" this fanatical, impotent affection? Why didn't she dare to walk into that bright spring?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > Section 2: Simu</h1>
(1) "Reading your poems in a clean yard", the protagonist "you" she admired finally appeared, but did not appear directly, but appeared in her mind, in her eyes and heart. Is the person she admires a poet, or is he a person as beautiful as poetry? So she must be in the clean yard, sit down, slowly his poetry, slowly chew on her admiration and affection.
"This human affair, trance like a sparrow that suddenly flies over", she sighed deeply into the love of the human world, so that people could not see through and grasp it, and the trance was like a sparrow flying through the courtyard, leaving no trace, and so real.
(2) "And time is bright", the day of love in the heart is ultimately a good day of purity, and even that long period of time has become bright.
But even if that love makes "my" time pure, "I am not suitable for liver and intestines." Loving a person is not only full of happiness, but also the pain of love and not being able to cut off the liver and intestines, "I" love so warmly, why not cut off the liver and intestines? It's not that you don't dare, it's not that you can't, but it's "inappropriate", because your body is not good enough to be depressed and hurt? Or is there no suitable identity and position to cut off his liver and intestines?
(3) "If I send you a book, I won't send you poetry." Poetry is the most romantic of all genres, and when she wants to send her thoughts and admirations, she will not send him poetry.
(4) "I will give you a copy of the plants, about the crops. Probably only Yu Xiuhua will be so fertile, not only in her poems to use more images from nature: seasons, plants and animals, but also the deepest emotions in her, which is everything in nature. Of course, this is closely related to her life experience and rural life experience, and she wants to tell him everything that she is most familiar with and kind to him.
"Tell you the difference between rice and weeds", in that book, she does not say love, only the difference between plant rice and weeds. Weeds are weeds that grow among the crops and rice seeds, and are very similar in appearance to rice seeds. For her, the more serious she was, the more silent she became, and it was easier to say anything than to say anything about the crops she was familiar with.
When she liked someone, she nagged him and talked to him about insignificant gossip, leaving those unspoken loves, and in her own heart.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" > Section 3: Fearful</h1>
"Tell you about the spring when a weed is afraid of a weed," she wanted to tell him the difference between rice and weeds, to tell him the fear of a weed— even if a weed hides between rice, it is a useless weed that may be pulled out at any time.
When she loved him, she was like a weed, so inferior, weak and afraid, and her spring was so fearful.
Only by loving a person deeply will you fall into deep self-doubt, afraid that you are not good enough, afraid that you are not worthy of the other party, afraid that you will become a burden on the other party, afraid that your love will be a disturbance.
This simple sentence not only echoes the "spring" in the first verse, but also sublimates the "spring" in the theme of the poem. Every day of loving each other is a grand spring, and every day of crushing each other is worrying.
Yu Xiuhua's poetic confession is really too beautiful, and when you like a person, you can say something like this: "Tell you a weedy spring."
I like you so much, but I dare not tell you blatantly; but my liking cannot be contained, and I still want to tell you my love for you. When you know that I am afraid, I will open up and give you my inferiority, timidity, fear, and fiery love, and give you all of me without reservation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="107" > Conclusion:</h1>
Yu Xiuhua's "I Love You" is a lyric poem that is too beautiful and beautiful. Without a word of "love", he said the deep love of love.
