2023 UBC 上元诗会主题：重逢
从2019到2023，沉绵数载的疫情逐渐消减，人们终于能够“重逢”，与久别的亲人、挚友，与正常的工作、生活。这一次漫长的分别与隔绝，也许让我们感受到了从未有过的对重逢的期待和珍惜，也让我们重新定义与自我、与他人、与世界的关系。 “重逢”，于外，不仅是跨越障碍而与故人重逢，也是跨越障碍而结识新友；于内，不仅是与过去重逢、温故而时时知新，也是与进行中的经历重逢，在反思中成就智慧的增长。于内，于外，你有怎样的重逢故事，又有怎样的重逢期盼？期待着你在2023上元诗会中分享。
Theme of 2023 UBC Lantern Festival Poetry Event: Reunion
From 2019 to 2023, as the pandemic gradually eases, we are finally able to reconnect with long-separated family and friends, and return to normal work and life. This long period of separation and isolation may have made us feel an unprecedented longing and appreciation for reunion, and also made us redefine our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world. In terms of our relationships with others, “reunion” refers not only to surpassing distance and meeting with old friends again, but also to overcoming obstacles and making new friends. In terms of our relationship with ourselves, it means both reconnecting with the past and reflecting on ongoing experiences, thus achieving growth in wisdom. What kind of reunion stories do you have and what kind of reunions are you looking forward to? We invite you to share your stories at the 2023 UBC Lantern Festival Poetry Night.
【Purpose】
