这是我几年来,创作的中英文诗歌精选,中英文均为原创,因为是英文创作,有些还没有想好中文版本。
Here follows some of my poems composed during the last few years, both Chinese and English versions are original.
I am looking forward to cooperations between you and me which will hopefully bring about our mutual successes!

<Three pieces for dawn>《黎明三部曲》
(1) Dawn
The awakening roosters have been heard,
the singing birds have long stirred;
at prolonged nights our breath was held,
a relief finally in our joys felt.
(2) When lies are rewarded
when lies are rewarded,
honest men suffer.
when rumors run rampant,
truth is once and again questioned.
nymphs rejected for poverty,
whores favored because of wealth,
straightforwardness condemned as tactless,
treachery lauded as smart,
my blessed friends,
will your hearts stay in peace,
when all these go on?
or rather,
carry one brick each time,
to build a landmark,
as the symbol of goodness,
on this land of ruins?
(3)When all these weird things end
Time flies,
sumptuous meals
go to the soulless,
nectar of wisdom
dripping into thoughtful minds.
without spreading,
inspirations dry.
riches of knowledge
remain untapped.
the day when all these weird things end,
a great nation rises!

Ode to us
Rain and shine we have been through,
snipes and stabs are nothing new;
we carry on as long as we can move,
our lives must be lived to the full.
To "smiles of a sister"
Giving yourself this name,
you had laid out your demands
and your needs,
which are just a tiny bit
from this vast world,
but means all for you
who is easily satisfied.
You tread your way
with profuse caution.
Your heart is confined
within your past,
when stories passed,
that nothing left
except scars.
My respectable sister!
open your eyes wide,
impenetrability is a double-edged sword.
It fences off devils,
but also hurts angels.
Be ripped of it!
it will surge from your heart----
a flowery sweet smile of goddess!
Good thoughts
the police hit the vendor,
hard on the head,
for he had hogged the road,
the cars couldn't move.
blood smearred the face
of the poor man,
startled a passerby
who, upon getting home,
wrote a long passage
angry and subversive.
at this moment,
"he knew everything".
I read, and shrugged.
I thanked his good thoughts, though.
Mid-autumn without moon
In lasting rain,
the sky is wide
with clouds
holding quite some water.
I am missing those
young nights
when we made wishes
under the bright round moon.
A friend,picking up
passengers with a motorbike,
and he does make a lving
out of it.
I am waiting for the silence
before the sound
of his engine.
we will study poems
as usual
during our night break
with or without the moon.
A promise land---for "微朵的故事"
Your sentiment is strong and true,
exuding youthfulness and hopefulness.
Are you a college graduate,
looking for your place
in this cruel world?
Remember,
a happy life is
nothing but a bowl of rice
with a lot of laughters
and the ones you love.
Be patient,
and try harder,
with your eyes looking
beyond the small hills,
for they will reach
before your feet,
a promise land.

am searching the truth
and soul
before the rise
of a new sun.
Friday blues 《星期五蓝调》
We all voyage to somewhere,
some places planed
some places unexpected.
some sit in a posh coffee shop
drinking espreso,
some hide in a den
jabbing with needles
into their arms
with a thousand holes.
In moonlight,
the shade is cast
by tree branches
where deals are made.
The mansions are grand,
rising up to the sky,
full of sad stories
in many separate rooms.
I brace myself up,
pick up my paces,
walk through the darkness
towards the lightened place
not so far away.
Life is a fleeting lark across the sky.
生命是划过天空的一只百灵。
let me mourn! for the long beauty of life had been condensed into ephemeras of greed!

<4th dimension>
《第四维》
4th dimension

exploration helps shape our spiritual forms,

on behalf of children you deserve a new day.
为的士司机杀人事件写一首英文诗《宽容之主宰》
Tolerance reigns
A negligible sum of taxi fare takes one life or two,
amid shocks we reflect on human misery that is all true;
comparing countries which fare worse and which better do,
light is shed that only tolerance can carry us through.
My version of new year celebration
Flooding this world,
is a voice that drumming your ears:
boy, there are a lot of good things out there,
wealth,drinks,sex,
you got to go and grab it,
more, see? there are much more you ain’t got!
you fighted, you killed.
now,you are old, or ill..
from the window of the ward,
you see the flowers blossoming,
birds tweeting...
ah!how much you wish
to be the green grass,the gentle breeze
for just one more day in this world,
in exchange for all the loots you have gained,
which at the cost of your sins and crimes
and endless toilings of calculations,
that you never have time
to really peacefully enjoy
til the day you die.
To a friend of mine
You were born with gift,yet in the wrong time,or wrong place.
You had made a good start,but were dragged behind by negative circumstances.
Alas,innocence! beautiful as it was,had inflicted upon you a lasting pain,
by taken away a dearing part of your heart.
A fall in pit, a gain in wit.
Phoenix reborn! after years of travail.
You had casted light for me, at times when I couldn’t see clearly.
Biding the time,holding the faith.
Oh! my dear friend! can’t you see it?
The most miserable years has come to an end.
The messeger of Spring,is galloping round the corner.
It is the right time, for you to rise high from obscurity,
turning all those eyes of contempt into mournings of regret,
and shine again, this time to all, from the very top of alps!
Great expectation
Saying goodbye to my school,
saying goodbye to my friends.
from this day and on,
I trod the way of my own.
how excited in the first job fair,
I dished out dozens of resume.
days gone by, no news happened,
teeth grit, again and again.
one day in the evening,
a telephone call came.
exhilarated I answered,
smoothly the talk went on.
when it came to the pay,
aghast as I was told:
monthly 1500 yuan.
alas!
that’s it,
that’s the end of it!
A hopeful hopeless(绝地逢生)
The world had treated you badly.
It had taken from you,
health,jobs,
one after another,
until one day,
you began to conclude
you are a hopeless.
and then,
life took on a new look,
all of a sudden,
it came from outside,
by the magnet of your inside.
the sweetest of sweet,
it is the ultimate revenge,
of the virtuous to the evil.
The art of life
We are born to drift with the flow,
to distance of the future nobody knows.
See clearly to the core of our souls,
and carry through a life to be extolled.
