Beauty Lu
Chun Yu

People called Mama Beauty Lu
Her face a smooth oval shape
Her skin a light olive color
Under her eyebrows like willow leaves
Her eyes were bright and clear
As the blue sky above –
Where I never saw a trace of fear or doubt
Where my childhood 
Glimmered with a golden lining
In the raging storms of 
A tragic revolution, which 
She withstood, with
Her beauty and courage–
My haven on earth.

路美人
俞淳

人們稱媽媽爲路美人
她有著橢圓形的面龐
淺橄榄色的皮膚
在她柳葉般的眉下
她的眼睛如天空般清澈 –
在那裏
我從未見過一絲恐懼與疑慮
在那裏
我的童年發出金色的光芒 –
她以美與勇氣
抵擋著一場悲劇革命的風暴
賦予我人間樂土
