"The Most Beautiful April Day in the World" comes from a modern poem "You Are the April Day in the World" written by Lin Huiyin in 1934 during the Republic of China. The full text is as follows:
I said You are April in the world
The sound of laughter lights up the surrounding wind
The lightness dances and changes in the light of spring
You are April The clouds in the morning
The wind is soft at dusk, the stars are shining
unintentionally, and the fine raindrops are sprinkled in front of the flowers
That light, that Pingting, you are
You are wearing the crown of fresh flowers
You are innocent and solemn
You are the full moon every night
The goose yellow after the snow melts, you are like
the fresh green with the first buds, you are
soft and joyful, the water is floating with the white lotus in your dream
You are the flowers blooming on the trees
You are the swallows whispering in the beams
You are love and warmth
You are hope, you are April in the World

Poetry Appreciation:
This poem uses "April in the world" to express beautiful emotions, which can be described as ingenious. The author uses light wind, clouds, stars, drizzle, flowers, full moon and white lotus to depict the scenery of April, and depicts the scene of gentle wind, blooming flowers, warm sunshine and rich spring scenery, which is delicate and full of charm.
April is a time of hope, enthusiasm and dreams. It is the beautiful Garden of Eden in everyone’s heart. Therefore, the emotions described by April are sincere emotions, coming from the deepest place in the heart. At the same time, the author once again mentions the title "You are April in the world" at the end, echoing the beginning and end of the first paragraph of the poem, expressing "love", "warmth" and "hope" vividly and sublimating the emotion again.
