I am filled with uncontrollable pain and rage….
1 “蜀道难” This phrase—“the arduous paths to Shu”—is from a poem “Shudao nan” /(“Difficulty Paths to Shu”) by the Tang poet Libai. It refers to the extremely arduous paths from the ancient city Changan (present day Xian) in Shanxi Province to Shu (the alias of Xichan Province).
2 “开胸验肺” /“thoracotomy for lung examination” alludes to the extreme difficulties migrant workers encounter in having their occupational diseases appraised. The speakers refers to a widely publicized case of a migrant worker from Henan, Zhang Haizhao, who was diagnosed by several hospitals as suffering from pneumoconiosis. However, because those hospitals were not officially established by law as occupational disease appraisal institutions, the diagnosis was “useless.” His factory refused to provide him with documents of evidence. . Eventually he requested to have “thoracotomy” to prove his case. This incident is commonly referred to as “thoracotomy for lung examination”.
Moonlight treading on distant memories saunters into my room.
Restored in dreams. The iron bird disappears into silence.
A grey iron bird, flapping its wings.
restlessly migrating, planting in the open fields a thousand hawthorn trees.
or a meandering river, creeping low behind the train.
move behind the train, one, two … standing on boundless ashen fields.
I say to the trees, those are my friends, my family. Can you summarize the meaning behind the phrase "the arduous paths to Shu" by Tang poet Libai?
