Chapter 21 "I Come to the Yangtze River to Buy a Lotus Pod"

"I Come to the Yangtze River to Buy a Lotus Pod" I came to the Yangtze River to buy a lotus; Peel off layers of lotus clothes by hand, Watching Jiangou flying in front of your eyes, Holding back a tear-- I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you, Xiaolong! ② I tasted the lotus flesh, reminiscing about the tenderness of the past:—— The unrolled heavy curtain before the steps, Covering the love of the same heart ③: I listened to your words again, "Forever yours, my body, my soul." I taste the lotus heart, my heart is bitterer than the lotus heart; I've been dazed all night,

unbreakable nightmare, Who knows my pain? You killed me, love, how can I live this day? But I can't blame you, I can't bear to guess you change, My heart is just soft:④ you are mine!I am still Hug you tightly—⑤ Unless it's an upside-down—⑥ But who can imagine that day? ⑦ ① This poem first appeared in "Zhimo's Diary Aimei Xiaozha" on September 9, 1925. ② "Dragon" was "red" when it was published. ③In the diary, "concentric" means "elimination of soul". ④ There is no ":" here in the diary. ⑤ "—" in the diary is ";".

⑥ "—" in the diary is ",". ⑦ This sentence in the diary is "But I can't imagine that day!"
