You are/in April/in the morning/in the clouds,

The softness of dusk/blowing/wind,

Planetesimals/in/inadvertently/flashing,

Creative background:

This poem was published in the April issue of 1934 of Xuewen 1 volume 1. There are two opinions about this poem: one is to mourn for Xu Zhimo, and the other is to write for the birth of his son to express his hope for his son and the joy brought by his birth.

Mr. Liang Congjie said in "Suddenly April Day on Earth": "My father once told me that" You are April Day on Earth "was made for me by my mother in the joy after my birth, but my mother never told me about it herself." Mr. Liang is very objective about the creative intention of this poem.

Therefore, on the one hand, this poem is a love poem, written for Xu Zhimo, who is already in heaven. On the other hand, Lin Huiyin is a mother who has a strong maternal love for her children, so it is absolutely possible to write such a lively poem for her children.
