"There will be no time next year. I'm afraid that my worries will be wasted. If you work hard today, you can still be proud of your youth." Four sentences.

The meaning of these four sentences is: Will there be no New Year's Eve next year? I'm just afraid that my worries will go wrong again. Try to cherish this night, and the young man can still boast of his spirit.

These four sentences are the third level: "Will there be no year next year? I'm afraid that my worries will be wasted. If I work hard today, I can still be proud of the young man." This level contrasts with the play-and-play at the beginning of the first level, which shows that It makes sense to stay up late and cherish the passing time. Confess positively that you should stay up until the end of New Year’s Eve.

The last two sentences use Bai Juyi's "still exaggerated youthfulness" to encourage Su Che. Su Che was serving his father in the capital, and Su Shi hoped that both places would stay up late and cherish their years together. This conclusion contains a positive and energetic meaning and is the finishing touch, which suddenly lifts the spirit of the whole poem.

Extended information

"Shou Sui" is an ancient five-character poem written by Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This poem compares the years that are about to pass away to an unstoppable long snake swimming into a deep ravine, and says that staying up late is like trying to tie its tail, which is completely futile. The poem also describes in detail the scene and mood of people staying up late on New Year's Eve.

The two sentences "There will be no time next year, and I am afraid that my worries will be wasted" use virtual pen to express the poet's longing for his relatives and brothers, his desire to establish a career as soon as possible, and his cherishment of his youth. The first six lines of the poem are striking with their wonderful metaphors, while the second half has a common meaning.
