Author: Annakeiko (Shanghai,China)
I am lucky to be a female poet in the 21st century.
During thousands years of history,
Women's status and rights have always been humble.
Now I want to stand among the forerunners of the present.
It's not just about being a good daughter, wife and mother,
Nor does it just consume energy and time to sew and cook,
But to be as strong and as independent as a pine tree.
Of course, we also smile like a flower.
Like Marie Curie's wisdom rising to the heights,
Like Nightingale, the founder of poetry,
Like Simon de Beauvoir writing her own philosophy.
When you can hold an umbrella for someone else
You don't have to be afraid of rain and snow,
You are worthy of life in that way.
You are also the creator of this era.
