地名与生命的回响

News Summary
Poet Bei Wu’s new collection Stars on the Earth has been published by the author’s own press. The book contains 258 poems that follow a chronological thread, weaving together the poet’s journeys and memories over half a lifetime.

The poems describe in tender detail Bei Wu’s hometown of Zhu Wan village, its fields and mountains, while also recording his changing identities—soldier, journalist, then writer—and the inner stirrings he felt in different lands and at different times.

These place names and scenes are not just scenic pictures; they serve as clues for the poet to rebuild his sense of self and contemplate life: traveling south for school, opportunities in Shanghai, the bitter cold of the north, fleeting moments by lakes and in public squares. Together they form a life‑map that is both concrete and symbolic. Through vivid local details, the book shows how time and memory can turn everyday experience into poetic power.

Reflection and Inspiration
When you read a collection like this, the simple place names and fragmentary everyday memories can tug at your heart. The poems remind us that, amid change and constant movement, we must not forget where our roots are. They also urge us to pause now and then, to straighten out our path and purpose.

The same spirit encourages a life lived with hard work, honesty, and mutual help. No matter where you are, watching over the “soil” of your own life and caring for the people around you turns ordinary days into a life of weight and meaning.

Scripture
Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28
