It's one thing if mankind is hunted to extinction by ChatGPT, but I really do object to being executed by Bing.

Re: Poetry - To Love Life (热爱生命) by Wang Guozhen (汪国真)

[(Anonymous)]

我不去想，
i won't think about
是否能够成功 ，
if i will succeed.
既然选择了远方 ，
since i have chosen the distant path,
便只顾风雨兼程。
then i must follow it through wind and rain.
我不去想，
i won't think about
能否赢得爱情 ，
whether i can win love.
既然钟情于玫瑰 ，
since i have fallen for a rose,
就勇敢地吐露真诚 。
then i will bravely lay myself bare.
我不去想，
i won't think about
身后会不会袭来寒风冷雨 ，
if the cold wind and rain will follow me.
既然目标是地平线，
since my destination is the horizon,
留给世界的只能是背影 。
all i can leave the world is my silhouette.
我不去想，
i won't think about
未来是平坦还是泥泞 ，
whether the future is smooth or muddy.
只要热爱生命 ，
as long as you love life,
一切，都在意料之中。
all is within your grasp.

I've got nothing interesting to say about this poem. 'Wind and rain' is a common motif in poetry and it bothers me that it's repeated twice here, since neither one is particularly literal.
