追逐梦想的翅膀：徐志摩与我
在一个清晨的阳光中，我翻开了那本旧书，.pages yellowed with age, the words of a man who had lived his life to the fullest. It was Xu Zhimo's collection of poems and essays, a book that I had read countless times before but always found something new to inspire me.
Xu Zhimo, one of China's most celebrated poets and essayists in the 20th century, left an indelible mark on Chinese literature. His life was not without its challenges; he faced opposition from both political and literary circles during his time. Yet, he remained steadfast in his pursuit of truth and beauty through art.
One of Xu Zhimo's most famous works is "The Moon Over The Forbidden City," a poem that speaks volumes about the longing for freedom and self-expression:
"Let us leave this place where the smoke blows,
Where you can see for your life if you don't like what you see;
There are women enough here,
And they never ask any questions."
This poem reflects Xu Zhimo's desire for personal freedom amidst societal constraints. Despite facing numerous setbacks in his career due to political reasons, he continued to write from his heart.
Another aspect that made Xu Zhimo stand out was his love for nature. He often drew inspiration from it in his work. In "To Myself at Thirty Years Old," he writes:
"I have no fixed plans,
I will drift into whatever opens up.
For every day lost is never found again.
But even if I were rich
I would still choose this way."
These lines embody Xu Zhimo's carefree spirit as well as his passion for living each day fully.
Throughout my journey reading about Xu Zhimo's life and works, I began to feel inspired by him more than ever before. His courage in pursuing what truly mattered to him - whether it be love or writing - resonated deeply with me.
As I closed the book that evening under my moonlit windowpane., tears streaming down my face., I realized how much we all need people like Xu Zhimo who remind us why we started our own journeys towards our dreams..
