Chapter 101 To Zang Kejia①

Comrade Ke Jia: The matter of writing to you has always lingered in my heart like a debt! I have already received your reminder poem, and I wanted to write it before May Day, and present it in person, but it failed, and I did not go out on May Day (only Wen Zao took a few children there. visit the park). In the office this morning, I boiled the pen, sharpened the ink, and wrote a very ugly handwriting (it’s only because I don’t practice usually, and I can’t help it). Anyway, you keep it as a souvenir, so let’s keep it. Hurry, I wish you a higher poetic joy!Bing Xin (This letter was collected by Comrade Zhou Dabao.) ① Zang Kejia, poet.
