Poem[]

Passing By the Earth
The manuscript was written by He Xuntian (1999)

"Passing By the Earth" (1999)

(Every single living human being who encountered the first ray of light of this new century will pass away this century)

If I should make it to
the final destination still clear-minded

could you even guess that
my intangible hand would still be strumming your lost lute?

if I should push open that
sunlight-uncontaminated yet-to-be constructed city gate and
still can find no place to rest

do you think that
your departed face could ever find my unborn pair of eyes?

Source language:
"路过地球" (1999)
(遭遇新世纪第一缕阳光的全人类所有活着的人都将会在本世纪死去)
如果我走完最后的终点仍然很清醒
你是否猜得出我那无形的手仍然在拨弄你那只消失的琴
如果我推开那座没有被阳光污染还没有被建成的城市之门仍然找不到休息地
你那逝去的脸是否寻得着我那双未出生的眼睛
