Moments 年轮里的瞬息
One should have a space to dodge life,This should be an inherent human right.The inertia of lifeForces me to whiz past the beautiful moments,Leaving behind only trails of smoke—Are they not sighs filled with deep regret? The inhale and exhale within the chest,Without close feeling, how can one smell sweetness?I wish to tell that messenger…

I wish the moonlight would illuminate the forest path,I wish the butterflies in the woods need not chase and circle around,So that I may,Riding on the moon,And sail into the waves of the sunset. 28 February 2022 in London 但愿月光照亮林间的小道，但愿林中的蝴蝶不必追随又围绕这样我才可以，乘着月亮游进日落的波涛 2022年2月28日于伦敦

Rose
Who answered the full moonwith the kaleidoscope of tears?A misty rose ages and drifts into the fog,carried far by the north wind. Where do the fallen petals go?To the homeland in the sky.The north wind persists,Resounding loudly under the sky. Lonely, quietly,Is that wisp of smoke,Bidding farewell to the old man asleep by the candle,Seeking…

Sea Breeze 海风
There is finally one day when the see breeze arrives by my window,Lifting all the papers on the table,Turning them into a white expanse, like drifting grains of sand. It approached me, laughing heartily in the doorway,Who knows from where this charm originates, Light and a fine rain mingles, making the room feel like spring.…

Longing 渴望
Have you heard?Above the sun on the western hills,There are buds yet to bloom.Why not go and see,If atop the hill there might be kings and fairiesand wildflowers thriving in an everlasting spring. Have you heard?If we want to reclaim our radiance,Might as well smear our faces with mudand become those boys and girls again,Walking…

Tick tock 滴答
Tick tock, tick tock,Who greets so softly?Never have I seen such a tender rain,Hovering and swaying in mid-air. Evening frost, tranquillity, please don’t drift away from me.Swaying, silence, please take me along,To that carefree island,Where under the shade of trees, we say goodbye to the past. Tick tock, tick tock,Whose quiet footsteps?Drawing circles one after…

Celebrating the Spring Festival in the UK 在英国过春节
Who says Spring Festival in the UK has no atmosphere?The three-pound dumplings bought downstairs dip just fine into soy sauce as and vinegar.A lingering light chat,Accompanied with two pairs of chopsticks and one bowl of dumpling soup. Who says Spring Festival in the UK has no atmosphere?Tunes of skits as well as the Yellow River…

British National Gallary 英国国家美术馆
Outside the painting, people admire the London within,Inside the painting, London admires the people without.Aren’t the people outside the painting,Living in the London inside the painting? 29 January 2022 in London 画外的人欣赏画中的伦敦，画中的伦敦欣赏画外的人。出门一看，原来画外的人也生活在画中的伦敦。 2022年1月29日于伦敦

Why Do Scientists Do Science?
—-Review of The Unnatural Nature of Science Why do scientists do science? Are they self-interested people seeking to print their names into history books, or are they selfless heroes hoping to better the world without seeking rewards? At Imperial, many of us will choose the career of ‘scientist’. From what we learned as young children,…

Wandering Through the Endless Night 在漫漫长夜里流浪
Drifting through the gloom of autumn and winter,Veering off from the swallows’ visits,Imprisoned on an island of fatigue,Enslaved by the rush of schedules,And fed up with the hustle of life.At last, I seize a night dark and windy,Draped in a cloak of deepest black.Tonight, I have a face unknown. With a five-pound note in my…

No title 无题
Gazing at the reflections on the window glass from afar,I suddenly wish it were a street market in the sky.Above a shallow river of starsWalk people, talking and laughing. The next time I look up,I hope to carry a lantern made of shooting stars,So I can travel through the vast, boundless universe,Passing through a night…

London’s fire alarm tonight 伦敦今夜的火警
It’s time to seek out some surprises,To suddenly awaken in the night,Like a passerby in a dreamWho in an instant traverses a thousand years. It’s time to seek out some surprises,To let lights spark when least expected.Disordered footsteps, the whooshing cold wind,Mark’s London’s fire alarm tonight. 8 January 2022 in London. Writing during a fire…

The same moonlight, the same starlight.The same loneliness, the same sorrow.The sky is so bright tonight,Because I have hung the world on the wall. 4 January 2022 in London 无题 一样的月色，一样的星光。一样的寂寞，一样的忧伤。今晚夜空如此明亮，因为我把世界挂在了墙上。 2022年1月4日于伦敦

Possessing the moment 拥有此时
Evening breeze,can no longer brighten the moonlight.Passerby,Still quietly savour their sweetness and sorrows.In their confusion,They own this moment.But who endures for them,The silence and unnoticed pride? Beneath the quiet night skyare the quiet bedroom and windowpossessing the moment.There is no moon tonightso I write a poem and wait on behalf of the worldfor tomorrow’s reply,Speaking…

Summer Night 夏夜
All beauty of the breeze gathers here,All coincidences solidify here.Lilies and cicadas,Through the roots of the banyan tree,Share tales under the moonlight. I long to return to the summer night,To admire the ground scattered with starlight,The corners where rain has passed,Hide a willing heart,Reflecting elegance and a quiet desire. The buzzling by my ear,Isn’t it…

Dream of the Night 黑夜幻想
You know the colour of night; I do not.Born in the dark, yet sinking in twilight,I wander the void of this world,Venturing into the realms of phantoms. On this meticulously crafted night,I partition the world with a red curtain.When I fall silent,Wild beasts come here to explore,Seeking imaginations within the flames. Dawn breaks, and only…

Sometimes I feel this contradiction:I wish for sunlight all around,Yet hope the sun above isn’t too bright –Why should the sun sway before the window of the soul? 19 November 2021 in London 有时候我会感到这样一种矛盾既希望身边充满了阳光又希望头顶的太阳不要照得太亮——何必要在心灵的窗前摇荡？ 2021年11月19日于伦敦

Impression London – autumn rain 印象伦敦—秋雨
On sunless days,The world lives beneath miles of glaciers.Those hazy coloursintoxicate the poet behind the window-blinds,Blurring the London captured in his mind. If the whooshing cold windcannot sweep away the flute rustling on the trail,Then what is this kind of powerthat transforms the extensive silver screeninto sprinkling gold scattered on the ground? 12 November 2021…

Hermit 隐者
One day,I want to be a hermitWandering through the high mountainsAs if swimming into a dream,Where people would become water in a bottleAnd I would become a cloud in the sky Work with the sunlight,Rest with the sunsetUntil one day,When my eyes are filled with the sea,I would roll forward with the endless cornfield,Together with…

Don’t Let Undeserved Pleasure Dictate Your Life
Recently, the US has come up with a novel idea to tackle the worsening drug addiction crisis —the so-called “harm-reduction policy”, which basically gives drug addicts weakened drugs to help avoid diseases such as HIV spreading and potentially reduce their intake of drugs. Plausible as it may sound, the policy reflects a messy world that…
