Two poems written by Gao Shi in Tang Dynasty, the original text is:
Like a bird, she still flapped her wings and felt sorry for herself, leaving Beijing for more than ten years.
Mochow has no confidant in the road ahead, and everyone in the world doesn't know you.
Translation:
Thousands of miles away in Huang Yun, the sky and the sun are dark, and the north wind is blowing snow.
Don't worry about having no friends ahead. Who doesn't know you in the world?

Creative background:
These two farewell poems are considered to be the sixth year of Tianbao in Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (747), and the farewell object is the famous pianist Dong. In the spring of that year, the official of the official department, Shangshu Fangguan, was demoted to the DPRK, and the door boy Dong also left Chang 'an. That winter, Gao Shi and Dong met in Suiyang (so the address is in the south of Shangqiu County, Henan Province) and wrote Two Poems of Biedong University.
Theme appreciation:
This poem is a farewell work of Gao Shi and Dongda after a long separation. After a short party, they parted ways. The work outlines the gloomy and cold sad scenery when seeing off, showing that the author was in a difficult situation at that time, but he was not depressed or sinking. It not only showed the author's reluctant farewell to his friends, but also showed the author's heroic and open-minded mind.
"Mochow has no confidant in the road ahead, and everyone in the world doesn't know the gentleman" is a comforting word for friends, full of confidence and strength in comfort, encouraging friends to go all out to struggle and struggle. Because he is a bosom friend, he speaks simply and generously; Because of its decline, it takes hope as comfort.
When the poet is about to break up, he doesn't write countless thoughts of parting at all, but encourages his friends to embark on a journey and meet the future with passion. If it weren't for the poet's inner depression, he couldn't have written his parting words so thoughtfully and firmly, nor could he have made such plain language and created such beautiful, mellow and moving poems.
