Absolutely loud - mourning the poet Liu Xiquan

Liu Xiquan, a native of Laiyang, Shandong. Born in 1962. Graduated from the Department of Chinese of Shandong University. He has been engaged in journalism in the central media for a long time. In 2009, he was transferred to the editor-in-chief of poetry magazine, but died of illness a year later.

Before his death, Liu Xiquan published 3 poetry collections, including "Whispering in the Night" and "Consolation". "Consolation" was shortlisted for the Lu Xun Literature Award, but later failed to win the prize because of his death (the Lu Xun Literature Prize is only awarded to living writers and poets).

In 2011, the "Complete Poems of Liu Xi (Part 1 and Part 2)" compiled and edited by Zhou Yi was published.

Liu Xiquan once said before his death: The most beautiful thing is to read a poem every night. When the Beijing News reported on Liu Xiquan, it was titled with this sentence.

"Absolute Sound" was written by Yizhou at the time of Liu Xiquan's death. This commemorates the 10th anniversary of Liu Xiquan's death.

Then I saw him in the great shadows

Say goodbye to us --

It was a wet night in the city of Beijing

It was dark, but not far from the moonlight

It is not far from the Mid-Autumn Festival Tuanluan

It was a not very real night

I heard the sound of him quietly falling to the ground

I heard him say: The laurel tree has blossomed

I heard him say: Poetry, poetry

I heard him say at last: Allow you to die once in the rain

And then come back to life

He left in the rain, but would never come back

He is saying goodbye to us

He was dressed in a black shirt

His eyes were unusually bright

Tonight, there is a sound that is destined to be absolute

It was a basket that wandered away from the edge of silk

It was the sheng and the hoop scattered among the country flowers

Tonight, a delicate piece of porcelain was broken

At this time I was in the south city of Beijing. I stood at the intersection of Hufang Bridge

Looking not far to the southeast

To the east, the pearl market mouth and the porcelain mouth look forward

I saw three or two unknown plants growing

Only three or two plants, but like a dense forest

It's just that I can't see the Southern Song Dynasty

The village soaked in sweet pear water

The village wrapped in cocoons and cotton

The village where the father and the sun set at the same time

In the Southern Song Dynasty, in yesterday's Southern Song Dynasty

In May, broad beans bloom

In June, the jujube trees bloom

In July, loofahs and pumpkins bloom

In the remaining months, in those heavy rains

Or on a long snowy day

Excited souls blossom...

- At this time he was in the twilight of dawn

Say goodbye to us

I know where he's going, and I know

From which gust of wind, from which cloud he will be

Get the ultimate solace
