Poems

He Xuntian: Passing By the Earth, 1999
(Every single living human being who encountered the first ray of light of this new century will pass away this century)
If I should make it to the final destination still clear-minded
could you even guess that my intangible hand would still be strumming your lost lute
If I should push open that sunlight-uncontaminated yet-to-be constructed city gate and still can find no place to rest
do you think that your departed face could ever find my unborn pair of eyes

source language:
（遭遇そうぐう新しん世よ纪第一缕阳光的所有活着的人都将会在本世纪死去）
如果我わが走はし完かん最さい后きさき的てき终点仍然很清醒
你是否ひ猜得出で我わが那な无形的てき手て仍然在ざい拨弄你那只ただ消失しょうしつ的てき琴きん
如果我わが推开那な座ざ没ぼつ有ゆう被ひ阳光污染还没有ゆう被ひ建たて成しげる的てき城市じょうし之の门仍然しか找不到いた休息きゅうそく地ち
