Two poems by Sun Fangjie
First, I have not seen it for many years
Not seen in years. An old friend already had thinning hair
The balding brain door shines with indulgence and greed
The agitation of life made him hunched over prematurely
Decaying body, in front of a darkened window
stagnant. Be a woman
Coming from a distance, he immediately straightened his waist bar
It seemed that love was always hidden in his body
The vitality of that youth recovered so quickly
.
Meeting him made me see a time in the past
Those days of exuding spirits and strong tea
He made me suddenly fall back into a kind of pain
It's a vague, unknown pain
Back to a long-demolished street
A bankrupt factory, a business district that has collapsed
A group of long-lost people
.
This unexpected encounter made me old again
Lived in the years of youth. Strong at the time
And the passionate youth collapsed
I haven't seen it for years
Like a cloud at noon in summer, condensed in a moment
Drifting away again in a moment
.
They are all so old, in this unexpected moment
How much misfortune is contained, how much panic is contained
Tired, sad, and bored
Second, from now on
One year, I was with a classmate
Drink in a village called Yangjiabu
Coming back in the evening, we were separated
In one place, I saw several snow-white hares
Licking each other's foreheads. I found out the next day
My classmate was carrying a bicycle
Walked in a circle all night
I went to that village again to drink
Speaking of this, I learned where I met the hare
Shot capitalists and landlords during the town revolt
And where the classmates passed
It is a cemetery that has been leveled
The more I listened, the more creepy I felt
The more I listened, the more I felt that there must be a world outside of the world
Not for us to know. When I was young
A chance experience seems to be doomed to their own home
Since then, reading Liaozhai again, I feel that it is not a fiction
As I read it, a cold wind blew in my body
There is air conditioning coming out of every pore
Let me lament that my life here is endlessly bitter
The road to life is full of red sorrow and green misery
On the other side of the world, there are some cold souls
But he often returned to the world through the night
