Gu Cheng himself admits that he is a "devil-like urchin", never eight years old and never mature. In another poem, I wrote: "I am a sad child, and I have never grown up."
Gu Cheng, a wayward child and a talented poet, left many wonderful poems, which brought incomparable freshness to the world like the wind blowing over the fence. Now reading his poems, I can still feel the aura emanating from my face and be moved.
This is a wayward child, a child addicted to fantasy. He wants to paint pure nature, and he wants to have pure nature. He wants love, and he wants love with a beautiful girl as the protagonist. He is a child, a wounded child, and he wants to be sheltered, but he also creates the beauty in his mind by violence.
