Memories 回忆

The stars scattered across the sky,Are they lighthouses among the clouds?Reflecting memories in the flowing waters,Leaving behind a beautiful melancholy,For the solitary sail in the night. A strange poem drifts across the ocean.As stars fade away,The world loses its light.And thus the waves send off the solitary sail,Leaving behind a solitary person meditating for beauty.…
Photos from the college life 大学的照片

Photo after photo,Carefully perused as graduation nears.How much time is captured in these albums!Before the photos, I’m filled with tears,While inside the photos, I’m filled with laughter and joy. Only in that small world,Can I forever spend time with friends,Forever laugh, forever be free,Forever enveloped in a warm glow of enthusiasm. Flipping through the album,…
Fear of the night 黑夜恐惧症

Chaos reigns in every corner.Moonlight scatters,Leaving behind a stark darkness. The paths in London are too long.As I walk,I adjust to the time difference. Don’t ask me why.Every rustle of the wind, and every sway of the grass,Can freeze me in the road. 23 April 2024 in London 角落里尽是凌乱月光散尽留下的黑暗触目惊心伦敦的小道太过漫长我一边行走一边调整着时差别问我为什么每一个风吹草动都可以把我凝固在路上 2024年4月23日于伦敦
Choosing the PhD programme 为了选校

The rivers thawedas I solidify beneath the mountains.Looking up, gazing far –Beauty lies on the other shore! I travelled there on a cluster of stars,But sacred brilliance suddenly melds into silence as I touch the ground.It was but a mirage!Now I finally understand: The beautiful shore,Is right under my feet,Yet beautiful imaginations,Will forever dwell on…
The nights of London 最爱伦敦的夜晚

Memories fade in the twilight,Only the cobblestone pathsretain centuries of frozen imaginations. The nights of LondonAre sweet and melancholic like poetry.Silence is the most beautiful note here –Every breath I takeWill find an echo in the corner. 18 March 2024 in London 记忆终于在暮色里消退只有石板路，还记载着百年凝固的想象伦敦的夜，像诗一样甜蜜而悲凉宁静是最美的音符——我的一呼一吸总能在角落里找到回响 2024年3月18日于伦敦

The darkness before meIs filled with wandering lost souls,Praying in the centre of sorrowFor a dawn that will not come. The darkness before meTurns into endless insurmountable walls,Separating from yesterday’s nightmares,But sealing off the dawn of tomorrow. The darkness before meRoams your face and mine.Those faces are more than a mirror,They are an unbreakable spell.…
Song on the branches 树枝上的歌声

The song on the branchesWakes me from dreams, intoxicates, permeates –Is this a preacher coming from afar?Everything suddenly turns sacred:The cabin transforms into the cathedral’s dome,Awaiting the miracle that bathes all in its light. The organ peals forth,Then suddenly stills. At the end of a minor key,The sun does not rise,Yet my sleeves are dotted…
Longing for a vacation 好想放假

How much I hope for a vacation!Daylights keeps me silent,Nights leave me wandering and confused.Only the holidays are so gentle,Swaying away in the breeze,As if time itself were intoxicated. 23 February 2024 in London 好想放假！白昼让我沉寂，黑夜让我彷徨只有假期是那么温柔，在微风中摇曳，仿佛迷醉了时光 2024年2月23日于伦敦
Rejection letters 拒信

Sleepwalkingthrough forgotten lands,Sleepwalking,past shattered lamps. Autumn leaves wither in the air,Falling into dark flowing water.What are those in the distance?They are silent and sleepless nights. 1 February 2024 in London, after multiple PhD rejection letters 梦游在遗忘的土地，梦游走过打碎的灯。秋叶在空中枯萎坠入黑暗的流水在远方，在远方无言，彻夜难眠 2024年2月1日于伦敦，同时收到好几封PhD拒信以后

The dawn at Cold Spring Harbor, I roam with you!I’m the ghost on this mountain road,my murmurs stir the darkened paths! 25 January 2024 at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory 凌晨的冷泉港，我在此漫游！我是这条山路上的幽灵，我的低吟凌乱黑色的走廊！ 2024年1月25日于冷泉港实验室
