Among the many poets in history, who is called the "immortal poet (诗仙)"? Many people think he is romantic (浪漫的) and free, just like an immortal. However, in the Chinese cartoon movie Chang 'an (《长安三万里》), we see a different Li Bai. In the movie, Li dreams about being an officer. But he faces challenge after challenge. He can't take keju because of his family. He has difficulties and problems just like everyone of us.
When he enjoyed nature, he said,"Its torrent dashes down three thousand feet from high, As if the Silver River fell from the blue sky. "When he had a setback (挫折), he said, "Heaven has made us talents,we're not made in vain. A thousand gold coins spent,more will turn up again."
Li Bai might not be as perfect as we think. As long as his poems are here with us, he is always the "immortal" in our hearts.
A. Yes, he is Li Bai. B. But it doesn't really matter. C. He did many different jobs. D. Later, he makes a mistake and is banished (流放). E. But his poems give us inspiration (启发) and confidence (自信). |
