1. A woman will never age in the poet's poems, but the poet himself has aged... There will never be a second coincidence in the same person or matter. I have only seen a full moon once in my life. But I also comforted myself by saying that I have walked on bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, and drank many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person at his best age. I should feel lucky for myself... ... ——Shen Congwen's "Records of a Journey to Hunan"

2. But the young man who sang under the moon, causing Cuicui to gently lift her soul to the sound of singing in her sleep, has not yet returned. Come to Chadong. ——Shen Congwen "Border Town"

3. A soldier will either die on the battlefield or return to his hometown. ——Shen Congwen

4. I always think that a river is so useful to people. If people are stupid, there is no hope for creation. Although the sea seems very big and gives people the illusion of width, its unchanging vastness does not do much good for the cultivation of a writer's soul. The population of the cities along the Yellow River is disproportionate, the land is wide and there are few people, so it cannot teach us anything. The Yangtze River is fine, but in the lower reaches, there seems to be nothing special about human interest. I praise the river in my hometown precisely because it is isolated from the city, everything is very simple and wild, everything is not universal, and the life style and attitude are all a bit original. It is a great lesson for an author. If I have any other achievements, I often think, teach me to think about life, teach me to appreciate life, teach me wisdom and character, it is not a certain person, but it is really this river. ——Shen Congwen's "Short Notes on a Journey to Hunan"

5. "It stands to reason: people need to eat when cooking, and people need to listen when singing. But when people sing for you, they want you to understand the meaning of their songs!" "Grandpa , understand what the song means?" "Of course it's his sincerity that wants to be with you! Isn't it the same as listening to the bamboo bird singing?" - Shen Congwen's "Border Town"

6. The sunshine on the small building is beautiful, but I feel at a loss, like a defeated warrior who lies alone in the grass after being injured, with all weapons and force lost. The afternoon autumn sun shines hot on the bronze armor. There was a small beetle at hand, and I heard in my ears that there were deserted war horses galloping in the distance, which made my eyes wet. My heart is really full of fighting ambitions, but it seems that everything is in the past, and there is only an illusion left in my life, a trace of review. ——Shen Congwen "Shallow Abyss"

7. In this world, all people with true temperament always have different ideas. ——Shen Congwen "Border Town"

8. Some people can be easily erased with time, just like dust. ——Shen Congwen "Border Town"

9. A month passed normally, and all the ailments in people's hearts seemed to be cured under that long day. ——Shen Congwen "Border Town"

10. But the real history is a river. The stones and sand, the rotten vegetation, and the broken shipboards in the water that flowed day and night unchanged for all eternity made me touch the sorrow and joy of human beings in many eras that we usually ignore! ——Shen Congwen's "Records of a Travel to Hunan"
