What is the background of the song "Teach me how not to think about him"?

Liu Bannong took an active part in the May 4th Movement in his early years and once participated in the editing of New Youth. From 65438 to 0920, he went to the University of London in England and devoted himself to linguistic research. At this time, the poet was far away from the motherland and missed his loved ones, so he wrote this poem with deep feelings. The title of the poem was originally called love song, but later it was changed to teach me how not to think about her.

Before the May 4th Movement, the Chinese character "He" had no distinction between men and women. Liu Bannong pioneered the substitution of "she" for women in "Teach me how to think of her", which was widely recognized by the society. Zhao Yuanren set the music for this poem in 1926, which was widely circulated.

lyrics

Teach me how to miss her, there are some clouds floating in the sky.

There is a breeze blowing on the ground, isn't there?

The breeze blows my hair and teaches me how to miss her.

Moonlight loves the ocean, and the ocean loves moonlight.

Ah, such a sweet silver night

Teach me how to miss her, and the fallen flowers flow slowly on the water.

Fish swim slowly downstream, huh?

Swallow, what did you say to teach me how to think about her?

Dead trees shake in the cold wind, and wildfires burn in the dusk.

Ah, there is still light in the western paradise.

Teach me how to miss her.
