Features: Truly red, pure red like the coagulation of blood, your shrunk heart. Gao Ying's Red Bean belongs to him; once he falls in love with someone, he clings to them for a lifetime. Gao Ying's Ivy. Before the age of 18, he lived happily; after 18, he lived a bumpy life. In 1948, he enrolled in the Art Class of Harbin Xingzhi Normal School, studying theater, music, and dance. Later, he was recruited by the Lu Xun Literary and Art Troupe of Songjiang Province as a dancer. At the age of 23, he married Ai Qing. The good times didn't last long. I followed him like his shadow, first to the Northern Great Plains, then to Xinjiang. After 21 years, I followed him back to the Chinese Writers' Association and was appointed as Ai Qing's secretary. From life, I picked up a few poems—good poems and bad poems, that's for the readers to judge.
