A song "Farewell Cambridge"，Makes me yearn more for Cambridge。I think，80 years ago，Chinese poet Xu Zhimo may have never dreamed of it，He spent a year as an auditor at King's College, Cambridge，The famous poem "Farewell Cambridge" written facing the beautiful scenery of Jianhe River，actually became the earliest enlightenment for many Chinese people about Cambridge。

 When the class is about to end that day，A female professor who claims to have just come to China three months ago，The last slide I typed was Xu Zhimo’s poem “Farewell Cambridge”，Cambridge’s Bridge of Sighs in the background，Said she knew that a famous poet in China wrote this masterpiece about Cambridge，Won our applause。

Cambridge is Cambridge。Cambridge is named after a river surrounding the city - River Cam,Transliteration 188bet online sports betting "Kanghe")，Jianhe winds its way through the city，There are more than 20 exquisitely designed towers erected on the river、Beautiful bridge。Hence the name Cambridge，The original meaning of Cambridge is "the bridge over the Cam River"。

Our daily course schedule is very compact，Leaving Cambridge today，Only you have the opportunity to see the beauty of Jianhe and Kangqiao。

Cambridge can be said to be an important stop in Xu Zhimo’s life，This is also a major turning point in his life。80 years ago，Xu Zhimo once audited a political and economics course at King's College, Cambridge for a year，It was during my stay in Cambridge that I read the poetry of Keats and Shelley and the antiquity of Cambridge、Tranquility、The dreamy atmosphere opens up the poet’s destiny，He also ended his marriage to Zhang Youyi，The emotional monument of finding true love。Xu Zhimo once said in "The Cambridge I Know": "The spirituality of Cambridge is all on the same river；Cam River，I dare say it is the most beautiful piece of water in the world。”“Kang Qiao taught me to open my eyes，My thirst for knowledge was stimulated by Kangqiao，My self-awareness was given to me by Kangqiao as an embryo。”

This time we walked through Queens Bridge and Kings Bridge，Viewed the Mathematical Bridge and Clare Bridge，It’s a pity that I didn’t see the Bridge of Sighs。There are more than twenty bridges on the Jianhe River，Which bridge is Xu Zhimo looking for?？188bet online sports betting Looking for Xu Zhimo’s “Cambridge” has become a project for Chinese people to visit Cambridge。There are even people holding Xu Zhimo’s poems，Walking between the spiritual bridges on the Jianhe River，Pretentiously showing tourists which bridge has "golden willows hanging on the riverside"，Look at the water bodies with “green water on the soft mud”，Swaggering underwater”。

                    The picture above is Clare Bridge

Because the Jian River meanders through various colleges，Each college has a bridge across the Cam River，So Chinese students in each college believe that Xu Zhimo’s Cambridge is the bridge of their college。It is said that the crew of the popular domestic TV series "April in the World" was filming in Cambridge，The director lost his direction for a while，There are golden willows beside every bridge，There seems to be shadows of Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin on every bridge，Finally the crew chose Carlisle Bridge at King’s College，The reason is that Xu Zhimo studied at King's College，Lin Huiyin lives in the college，They walk across Carlisle Bridge every day。Clare Bridge is very beautiful。 In "April on Earth", the place where you board the boat at night was taken under Clare Bridge。Clare Bridge built circa 1639-40。

The picture above is King’s College Bridge，Cross the bridge，A white marble poem monument was erected at the end of the bridgeJuly 2008，King’s College, University of Cambridge finally erected a white marble poetry 188bet app download monument for Chinese poet Xu Zhimo on a piece of grass beside King’s Bridge on the River Cam。The poem tablet is engraved with the first and last lines of "Farewell Cambridge"，

     Gently I leave, just as lightly I came;

     I wave my sleeves and don’t take away a single cloud.

It is said，more than 20 years ago，A Chinese visiting scholar who visited Cambridge told King’s College，Xu Zhimo’s poem about Cambridge is very famous in China，It is recommended to erect a poem monument，But there has been no follow-up。Maybe in the last ten years，A large number of self-financed Chinese students come to Cambridge to study，Hundreds of Chinese people come to Cambridge for day trips from London every day，An endless stream，That’s what prompted King’s College to make this decision。Unfortunately，There is no English explanation around the inscription，Only Chinese can understand it。So those taking photos in front of the monument are all Chinese，From time to time you can hear someone reciting "Farewell Cambridge" gently。Reciting this immortal work silently by the Cam River，Let people not only read the poet’s inner nature，Also read his deep and restrained emotions。

Taking a boat ride on the Jian River，Slowly appreciate the scenery of the university town，has long become a tradition and characteristic of Cambridge。In the selection of 25 items you can’t miss when traveling to the UK，Pitching on the Cam River in Cambridge is one of them。

Farewell Cambridge

Author: Xu Zhimo

I leave gently,
As I come gently;
I wave gently,
Farewell to the clouds in the western sky.
　
The golden willows by the river,
Is the bride in the sunset;
The beautiful shadow in the waves,
Ripples in my heart.
　
Green banana on the soft mud,
Swaggering gracefully under the water;
In the soft waves of the Cam River,
I am willing to be a waterweed!
　
The pool under the shade of elm trees,
Not a clear spring,
It’s a rainbow in the sky;
Crushed among floating algae,
Precipitated rainbow-like dreams.
　
Looking for a dream? Support a long pole,
Walk back to where the grass is greener;
A ship full of stars,
Singing in the starry sky.
　
But I can’t play the song,
Quietness is the shengxiao of parting;
The summer insects are also silent for me,
Silence is Cambridge tonight!
　
I left quietly,
Just as I came quietly;
I wave my sleeves,
Don’t take away a single cloud.
