The new issue of Chinese Literature Today features new translations by Andrea Lingenfelter and Liansu Meng 孟莲素 of poetry by Chen Jingrong 陈敬容:

Yellow

Yellow dusk, yellow sand,

Dredging from the dust these

Yellowed memories,

The shadow on the wall lets out a sigh.

Welling up in my imagination

A vast ocean like a mirror,

In its pure, translucent waves

I listen closely for my own lonely footfalls.

黄

黄昏,黄沙,

尘灰里掘起

发黄的记忆,

壁上的影子叹息。

幻想里涌起

一片大海如境,

在透明的清波里

谛听自己寂寞的足音。
