Read a letter from a reader from twenty years ago

Text/Li Ping (Xianning, Hubei)

With a dried wild chrysanthemum

I remember you. And your name

Has been the ashes of time

Buried layer by layer, even if I was lucky enough

Meet you in this strange city

Nor could I know

This is the text on the letterhead that I am reading

It was from the hand that held the pen twenty years ago

In fact, sometimes I have a little bit of vanity

I hope that I can be remembered by others

By some old poems about love

And when I reread these long-forgotten poems

I saw those chrysanthemums again

And the wishes and blessings hidden in the chrysanthemums

My heart has long been indifferent

Still touched by the tenderness of the past

Although the initial fire

Long gone, though your heart

Read the vicissitudes of the world

There is no longer passion and longing

I still believe it

You write me this letter

And it's not just because of youth

At this moment, the night in March was deep and deep

The wind swayed the willows hanging by the river

Like shaking your long hair against the water

I was in a calm mood, under the lamp

In a temporary rental cottage

Try to imagine what you look like

And you, you may have forgotten all this
