Easiest poem I've ever translated. Gu Cheng was another 'famously depressed poet' who created complex, sometimes highly experimental poems - but these two simple lines are considered his magnum opus. Like Bei Dao and Hai Zi, he was one of the so-called 'Misty Poets' whose works were heavily shaped by the indelible impact the dark night of the Cultural Revolution and the student protests of the 70s and 80s had on their generation.
