Phoenix PEN Club Ye Xinjie: Lotus. You were born in the mud, but you refused to be contaminated by filth. Trampled the mud under your feet. You only want to cuddle up with the clear water. Your scent is fragrant and the fragrance is stronger than the distance. You are fresh and refined. Standing in the water, you do not grow branches or vines, nor do you want to grow side branches. You stand there clean, but do not look coquettish. You are not afraid of the scorching sun. You emerge from the mud but are not stained. You are a humble gentleman among flowers. You are unwilling to join the flow and join in the pollution. You have broken the fate of fate. You are pure and unstained. You stand tall and tall, unwilling to surrender to fate. You are only willing to be surrounded by clear water. Keep the holiness of the soul to express the way of life
