In Honor of Su Shi 致敬苏轼

高二(9)班 谢依

There are many different styles of our classic culture, like Tang poems, Song lyrics, Yuan dramas and Ming novels. I love and adore Song’s lyrics, especially those written by Su Shi.

Su Shi suffered so many setbacks in his political career, but he never gave up his dream of helping the people, his ambition of living in harmony with the universe and his passion to love and be loved.

Actually he was a great poet, a fabulous painter, a master calligrapher and a kind official all in one. His writings are as romantic as Li Bai’s, but enjoy more flavor that appeals to me most.

Here comes one of his most famous lyrics: People have joys and sorrows, as the moon has rain or shine, wax or wane. This has been going on since the beginning of time. It has brought out the truth about the dilemma of life for everyone.

Not only do I appreciate his essays, but also I am spellbound by his character, or rather, his optimism whatever he faced, wherever he was exiled. Nobody can win my respect more than Su Shi.

在唐诗、宋词、元剧和明代小说中,我最喜欢宋词,特别是苏轼所写的词。苏轼在他的政治生涯中遭受许多挫折,但他从未放弃过去帮助民众的梦想。他是一位伟大的诗人、一位神话般的画家、一位书法家,也是一位善良的官员。他的作品与李白一样浪漫,但却有更多吸引我的地方。这是他最著名的词之一:人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全。他为每个人带来了如何面对生活困境的真相。我尊敬苏轼,我不仅仅欣赏他的文章,我也被他乐观性格所吸引。
