Phoenix City Zhang Zhaohong
"Tomorrow's Song" comes from the Ming Dynasty, written by Qian Hetan, (there is another "Tomorrow's Song" written by (Ming) Wen Jia, the content is roughly the same), the poem is as follows:
Tomorrow comes tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows. If I live to wait for tomorrow, everything will be in vain. If the world is tired of tomorrow, spring will pass and autumn will come. Watch the water flowing eastward in the morning and the sun setting in the west in the evening. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my song of tomorrow.
Poetry explanation: One tomorrow follows another, how many tomorrows there are! But if one spends his life waiting, then , he will waste his time and achieve nothing. If people in the world are fettered by tomorrow, time will fly by year after year, and old age will come unknowingly. They will watch the river flow eastward in the morning and watch the sunset in the evening, doing nothing during the day. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my song of tomorrow.
However, there are no absolutes in the world. For those who have worked hard all their lives and have retired, there is no guarantee of "tomorrow". What do you think? Please read the new explanation of "Tomorrow Song":
Tomorrow comes tomorrow, so many tomorrows? (It is said that one tomorrow will follow another, but are there really many "tomorrows"?) If I live for tomorrow, everything will be wasted! (I spend most of my life longing for tomorrow, so many things are wasted!) If the world is tired of tomorrow, spring will pass and autumn will come. (If the world can accumulate tomorrow, it will move towards twilight year after year.) Watch the water flowing eastward in the morning and the sun setting in the west in the evening. (If you are retired, watch the river flowing eastward in the morning and the sunset in the west. It would be nice to have a peaceful day!) How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my song of tomorrow! (How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Cherish it! Just listen to my "Song of Tomorrow"!)
A coherent explanation: It is said that there will be one tomorrow after another, but are there really many "tomorrows" in life? Spending time in longing for tomorrow, so many things will be wasted! If the world can accumulate tomorrow, it will move towards old age year after year. When you retire, watch the river flowing eastward in the morning and the sunset in the west. How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please cherish it!
