September of the "Big Four"
Text/Zhao Qingyu
.
(1) A red heart
Walk into the "Big Four" memorial
September, ripe, a fiery heart
Walk through the mountains and rocks of that year
There is a kind of bone hardness in my belief
That reed, that tidal flat, that secret corner
Old stores, still faintly visible
Pictures speak
Tell the story of the strivers
I took a short paragraph and put it in the poem
Recite it over and over again
(ii) I will be a walking seed
September seeds, filled with a basket of youth
Then he lit a flame and fled into the book of poetry
See how the grass spreads into the grassland
See how the spark of stars burns all over the field
See how the blood and bones of the ancestors turned into rivers
Look at how New China stands up and becomes stronger
I held my breath and calmed down
Open a book, here
This season, let the mind grow fire
It was a lake of green flames, and I turned into a swimming fish
Release yourself and endure thunder and lightning
Draw nourishment from the spirit of the forefathers
Grow your own fins and scales
I think so much
Turns into a seed
A lush green grows on the earth
I think about it a lot, it becomes the sky and the earth
Let the clouds drift by, with the sound of insects and birdsong and chickens chirping
I want to be a walking seed
Ancestors left footprints in the dirt
Right here, in this autumn
(iii) The "Big Four" is a ferry port
Cherish or collect it
We must not forget the fire of youth in those years
Has become a beautiful landscape
In youth at this ferry
Become positive and promising
The white colt crossed the gap
Youth is more like a finger of quicksand
Combing in the wind, flowing like water
Gently cross the eyebrows and straddle the young fingertips
Today, I'm at the "Big Four" ferry
Such as pushing open the window of the season and watching the sprawl splendor
Look at the halo rotation, warm heart a little soft
Stand at this ferry port and spread out the picture of youth
Shake off the green past and blend in with the red smoke and rain
Grow up in a beautiful life
