Opening the title page of Tagore’s “Bird Collection”, what caught my eye was the familiar Juanxiu font – “The world kisses me with pain, I want to report it to the song.” This “Flying Bird Collection” is given to me by Teacher Xie. of. Because her spine was suddenly injured, her pain was entangled in her and she could not teach normally. She could only go back to her home for medical treatment. Before leaving, she left a long letter to me, and the trustee gave me this Tagore’s “Bird Collection.”
“The world kisses me with pain, I want to report it to the song.” Whenever I read this poem, I often wondered what kind of mind a person can use to treat pain as a kiss. What kind of love does he have for life to be able to sing songs about the suffering of life? Why did Teacher Xie give this poem to me, what did she want to tell me? With these questions, I began to peruse the “Bird Collection” and approached Tagore.
Rabin Dellanat Tagore, an Indian poet and writer, and the Nobel Prize winner, the Indian philosopher, brought me into a deep and beautiful world with beautiful poetry. The poems in “Flying Birds” are short and precise, but behind them are deep feelings and enlightenment. In order to remember the good sentences in the book, I deliberately found a beautiful little book and excerpt the favorite verses:
“If you shed tears to miss the sun, don’t you miss the stars?”
“In the stars, there is a star that guides my life through the unknowable darkness.”
“It is not the hammer to strike the pebbles, but the water and the song.”
“Life is like the glory of summer flowers, and death is like the beauty of autumn leaves.”
“The reason why life has become more and more abundant is because there is too much love.”
……
As I go by, I am getting more and more sentences. I was surprised that Tagore would use such a simple and concise statement, such as a beautiful painting, to present me with a sincere and intelligent world. “The world kisses me with pain, I want to sing it.” Tagore used “kiss” to describe “pain”. This is a kind of love. He never gave up hope for the world.
The poem that Teacher Xie gave to Tagore is to show me how a person can face the difficulties of life. In study and life, there are always difficulties and dangers. Some people can’t stand it and face it pessimistically; some people accept the test, challenge the difficulties, and regard the difficulties as their own training. Teacher Xie is now sick, but she is faced with a calm, generous, and grateful heart for all the sufferings of the world.
I am about to enter the elementary school graduating class, why not take Tagore and Xie as role models, and let the pain be forgotten, more calm and generous. Go through the bottleneck of life and continue to struggle.
If you hurt, please return to the song. This sentence is not only for me, but also an incentive for myself to be ill.
“Come on!” I held the “Flying Birds Collection” and shouted in the sky – bless me and Ms. Xie, who is far away from Jiangsu.
