The blizzard in the Great Toronto Area at the end of May,
It is embarrassing and sigh,
What an incredible weather of the early summer.
Half a century’s life is pestering,
I am still confused,
What an unavoidable space this is!
Professional edification in the Eastern Hemisphere for more than 20 years,
As if vividly,
In the course of scientific research, I finally realized the pollution floating in extreme materialism.
The humanistic feelings of tens of thousands of miles on the westbound road,
Destined to be unforgettable,
Continue to experience the interweaving and convergence of cultural diversity.
Ah,
Who knows my heart,
How far does the fool realize the world?
A sudden COVID-19 epidemic,
Not only changed the mode of interaction between people,
It is like freezing the scorching passion to sleep.
Pretentious humans,
Where did you ever think,
The global village cannot be permanently occupied by violent and ignorant forces.
listen——
In the bright end of spring,
The singing birds compete with the whirling green leaves.
Look——
The verdant hills cater to people’s views.
The fish played happily in the water village where there is little but no commotion.
Sigh——
Although human beings are still helplessly struggling and panicking,
However, in the absence of human beings, there are few chaos and mortality!
Pity——
Some people are imprisoned in iron cages by the same kind because of extravagant greed.
And some people have already rushed to the Huangquan because of the unrestrained gluttony and waste!
Poor man,
At this time, can we confess our hearts,
Can we face the vast sky with tears streaming down your face?
Chattering questions,
The little virus is caused by climate change,
Or is it spread by evil forces?
Indomitable change,
No longer the past patterns,
Let us look forward to it together!
人类缺席的时空
——生态系统恢复
为第50个“6.5”世界环境日而作

北美地区五月末的飞雪，
令人唏嘘感叹，
这是多么不可思议的时段！
半个世纪的人生杵磨，
我却依然困惑着，
这是何等无法逃避的空间！
东半球二十余载的专业熏陶，
仿佛历历在目，
科学求索中终于认知了横流的物欲中飘洒的污染。
西行路上数万里的人文感受，
注定刻骨铭心，
社会融合里继续体验着文化多元的交织收敛！
呵，
谁知吾心，
愚者又悟世界多远？
一场突如其来的COVID-19 疫情，
不仅仅改变了人与人的交流互动模式，
它如同把炙热的激情一下子冰封至休眠。
自命不凡的人类啊，
你哪曾想过，
地球村不可能永久地被暴戾无知的势力霸占。
听——
明媚的春光里，
歌唱的百鸟合着婆娑的绿叶争艳。
看——
青山迎合着人们的眺望逐渐清晰，
鱼儿在少却了骚动的水乡欢快地徜演。
叹——
尽管人类依然无助地在纷争中恐慌，
但人类那缺席的时空里却少却了生灵涂炭！
惜——
一些人因着极奢的贪欲被同类关进了铁笼，
而另一些人也因着无度的暴殄天物而早已奔赴黄泉！
可怜的人啊，
这时我们能否扪心忏悔，
能否面对着浩瀚无垠的苍天泪流满面？
喋喋不休的发问，
小小的病毒是气候变化引发，
还是邪恶的势力播撒？
百折不挠的求变，
不再是逝去的模式，
让我们共同期盼！
