\"Chuo\"<\/a>This week’s Read Paper Republic<\/a>–a weekly sample of modern and contemporary Chinese literature in English translation for free–is Anna Gustafsson Chen’s translation of “Sorrow” \u70e6\u5fe7, by Dai Wangshu \u6234\u671b\u8212 (1905 – 1950). If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time Read Paper Republic <\/em>has featured a poem. Here<\/a> it is:<\/p>\n

\n

Say it\u2019s the grief of lonely autumn
\nSay it\u2019s the longing of distant seas
\nIf someone asks about my sorrow
\nI do not dare to mention your name.<\/p>\n

I do not dare to mention your name.
\nIf someone asks about my sorrow
\nSay it\u2019s the longing of distant seas
\nSay it\u2019s the grief of lonely autumn.<\/p>\n
