To Alex 致Alex
At dawn, in the vastness of early morning,I open my eyes early,To seek laughter in the fields.I cannot wait for the sun to claim the earth,Only to have the flowers startled, hiding in a swath of sand. I love to wander, yet sometimes I am lost,Like a lamb that has strayed.Luckily, the sun has not…

Summiting together 与你登顶
My hero, time has graced us with silver hair,We compete to attain enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, each vying to be the one hundred and eighth relic.Buddha says, one must give up for the other to ascend,But our resolve has traversed ten thousand springs and autumns. My hero, the ground beneath our feet is littered…

Walker 行者
With hair dishevelled, I stride through the streets,Never yielding to anyone I meet.Stones, beggars, madmen, and wolves,I’m the shadow crossing swiftly by.I want to lie in the middle of the road,To wake fiercely among the busy traffic,To awake amid the earth’s tremors!I wish to be a witness:How tears would flood the world,Then scatter with the…

Memories of a year ago 一年前的往事
If I say long time ago,How long can it last? How short can it be?From rushing to wash up at six in the morning,Exams by day, exams by afternoon, practising exam questions by night,I realised it was agony,But don’t blame me, blame that era. The memories from a year ago,How long can they last? How…

Sunset on the grass 草地上的日落
Where did the last rays of the sun go?At this moment, the Ferris wheel is resplendent—How could it be the reflection of the sun!All I see are flames,Slowly lifted toward the sky. 7 August 2022 in Cambridge 草地上的日落 夏日的最后一束阳光去了哪里？此时的摩天轮金碧辉煌——那哪里是霞光啊！我只看到了火焰，被缓缓地送上了天际 2022年8月7日于剑桥

The trap of emotions 充满情绪的时候
I casually picked up a novel,Only to fall into the author’s trap.This book was a snare!The glue on its pagesheld my hands fast,Not sparing even my gaze. Finally, with the tape of time,I sealed the last page of the final chapter.My hands at last freed,I threw the book down hard,My eyes trying to escape the…

Sky 天空
Never have I seen such a gradient sky,So crystal clear, so pristine,That I can no longer distinguishwhether I stand beneath the skyOr atop it. If thoughts could be so pure,Perhaps I am the harmonious melody at the horizon,Turning the myriad stars into wild, free flames,Reviving lonely souls in the heat of passion,Igniting the dusky expanse…

Summer night 夏夜
Last night’s summer eveningis featured in cicadas’ songs,Countless fireflies and butterflies,Intoxicated in the scent of roses.“Be careful,” a voice comes through,“Mind the thorny rose.” Tonight’s summer night,Stars scatter across the sky.The dense darkness cannot break anyone’s dream.But how can rough poetry calm me?I long to possess those stars,So that wherever I am,I can dance and…

The Last Rose 最后的玫瑰
The last rose,With a visage fiery as flame,Yet chose to bloom at autumn’s end. You will leave no seeds behind,I sigh,Did you ever long for a splendid spring?Why bloom here,Why, like me,Bloom in a lonely world? No answer comes.The wind rises,Petals are torn to shreds,The rose becomes a bare stem,Only then do I see its…

No title 杂诗
Wind, you truly have your ways,Though formless,You announce your presence at my door,With falling leaves and the scent of flowers. Well, I have my ways too,Though I can’t write splendid chapters,I consider myself a poem,Riding on leaves and fragrances,Following you to the ends of the earth. 4 June 2020 in London 杂诗 风，你可真有办法虽然没有形体，却靠着落叶与花香，敲开我的大门宣布自己的存在 那，我也有办法虽然写不出华丽的篇章，却把自己当成一首诗，乘着落叶与花香伴随你走到海角天涯 2020年6月4日于伦敦

Lilac dreams 丁香花的梦
Big thanks to Simran Patel for translating this poem! Lilac dreams Lilac dreams, golden skies.I want to hide in this place,let the raindrops of dawn kiss my face.I would inhale the sweet springand exhale tranquil rainbows all morning. Who’s waltzing over there?Careful on the course you chart;Angels are pupating in my heart.Butterflies in every word,I’d…

The unfaithful companion of plants – mycorrhizae
Mycorrhizae are fungi that share a close relationship with the plant’s roots. Such a relationship often involves a direct exchange of resources such as carbon and phosphorus that can impact the growth of plants. Although hidden on earth and invisible to most non-specialists, mycorrhiza has an important role in the ecosystem. They are present in…

Will humans be excluded from Biology
It is no longer a surprise to claim that humans are detaching from nature. Forests are being replaced by farmlands, farmlands are being replaced by towns, and towns are being replaced by cities. Children can live perfectly well without seeing the wild, and businessmen, programmers, technicians and even many biologists don’t have to go into…

Lotus in Summer 夏莲
Lotus in Summer A pond full of delicate fragrance, the lotus in the twilight of summer,One petal brightly red, another a freshly green.A pond full of starlight, moonlight nearly parting,There are ripples in the sea of our hearts, the earth becomes pure azure. 8 May 2022 in London 母亲节 满池清芬，夏中黄昏一瓣红艳，一瓣青莲满池星光，月色若离心海微澜，大地纯青 2022年5月8日于伦敦

黄花
孤雁南飞，黄花依旧飘飘荡荡，摇摇晃晃绿叶飘飘，黄花依旧在太阳下，灿烂地笑出悲伤 野风里呼呼的摇荡，拔根而起飞向天涯没来得及告别家乡只在顷刻间路过熟悉的山头，从此发誓不再走前人的步伐 2022年4月30日于伦敦

An ordinary day 平常的日子
Last night’s moon,Meet me beneath the streetlight tonight.Hours and minutes are blended in monotonous, hazy hues,allowing me to glimpse tomorrow today. Closing a door, shutting a window,With a snap, a wall is built that isolates me from the universe.Novel fantasies become minuscule,Without a microscope,I can’t see the aquatic beasts or celestial beings. Who doesn’t wish…

Dignity and Pride by Paul Colvin
I found these two poems on the pinboard outside of an Alzheimer’s Disease research centre when I was doing an internship. The poems were written by a researcher, not by me. But I believe these two poems worth more attention. The words really touched me, and I feel obliged to share them. Dignity and Pride…

Air Crash 空难
When the dawn light shines on the icy land,It was meant to be a new beginning,Yet the echoes of the past resound in tears.Everything is like a dream, when tomorrow is lost all in a sudden. The bright moon remains, stars pass dimly through the cold light on water,The distant past holds vows that surpass…

Morning in Hyde Park 海德公园的清晨
What is born in the shadows?What light, what fire,What shadow,Runs across the wilderness for the sake of beauty? 15 March 2022 in London 是什么在潜影中诞生？什么光，什么火，什么影子，为了美好，而在旷野上奔跑？ 2022年3月15日于伦敦
