Preface: This year marks the 20th anniversary of the alma mater Nanjing Normal University 141, and it is also the 40th anniversary of my graduation. The epidemic has blocked our 40-year gathering. I will write this poem to celebrate and remember.
ah, beautiful SuiyuanSilent
Tall ginkgo trees gently shake
Leaves float in the wind like golden butterflies
This is looking for its former lovers
My youthful classmates, classmates in Suiyuan
Let us go to Suiyuan to party, pick up the past time again
My brothers and sisters
Let us wander on the tree-lined avenue in Suiyuan, and play back the past years together
Do you remember? We once made a great discovery
Lying on the big lawn in the summer evening
is more comfortable and sweeter than sleeping on the Simmonsi bed
We look up at the white clouds floating in the sky
Let your dreams and attachment to the future in your heart
Do you remember? We once had a firm belief that
must have real talent and knowledge, and only hard work is more diligent and hardworking
At that time, the lights of the laboratory were like stars all over the sky
At that time, the seats in the library were often full on Sundays
Do you remember? We once had an interesting fantasy
After graduation, we traveled all over the North Jiangnan
to Xishuangbanna to explore the secrets of tropical rainforest
to Daxinganling to find mines with Wujin
do you remember? Leave a message when you parted,
Wherever there are difficulties in the future, we will meet
No matter whether life is hard or sweet
Don’t forget yesterday and tomorrow
My youthful classmates, classmates in Suiyuan
Today, some of you have become scholars, professors, and principals
Can you come to Suiyuan to have a party? Why not?
I know, you have already written your wishes on the letter you sent
My young classmates, classmates in Suiyuan
You have become grandpas and grandmas
Can you go back to Suiyuan for a party? Life has long changed
I know that although you are gray-haired
can still recall your lost glory with a clear conscience
Note: Suiyuan is the old campus of Nanjing Normal University.
