Q: Where did the original version of The World s Farthest Distance come from?

Here are the three theories I have just found: Claim 1: The author is Rabindranath Tagore, and this poem was published in the 14th issue of Reader magazine in 2003, signed by Rabindranath Tagore, and sourced from "Flying Birds".

Could it be that the translation is inconsistent? Take a closer look, "Flying Birds" collects two or three short poems, and it is impossible to include such long poems. Could it be that the source is wrong?

In the spirit of rigor, continue to track down Tagore's other works. "Crescent Collection", the order has; "The Gardener's Collection", the order has; "The Edge Collection", "The Birthday Collection", "Gitanjali" ......I've searched all the poetry books, but I don't have this match! At this time, I happened to see on the Internet that the quotation in the 14th issue of "Reader" magazine in 2003 was from the 5th issue of "Women's Literature" (now renamed "Women's Digest") in the same year.

But according to a person in Women's Digest, the poem was obtained from the Internet. Wakaka: It turns out that I copied it from the Internet! That's not to be believed.

But there is a question, why so many places are conclusively said to be from "Flying Birds", haven't they been checked? Viciously guessing, I'm afraid it was deduced from the last section of "the farthest distance in the world, the distance between a fish and a bird", right? Claim 2:

Zhang Ailing, the language style is similar. Research: The facts are unclear and the evidence is insufficient.

Claim 3: Zhang Xiaoxian, there is a paragraph in her ** "Single Bed in the Purse" "The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, not the world is separated, but, I am standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you". Research:

Indeed! It is said that Tao Jingying especially loves this sentence written by Zhang Xiaoxian, and when she interviewed Zhang Xiaoxian, she also quoted this sentence on the radio program and explained the origin. As a result, it is not as good as the commotion caused by Wu Zongxian's "confession" to Chen Xiaoxuan in a variety show.

Zhang Xiaoxian herself was quite angry, so she went to check Tagore's poems, but she has not found them so far. She said: "Those sentences were what I thought of when I wrote that **, in order to express the heroine's mood; But if Tagore really had similar poems, it would not be exactly the same words translated into Chinese.

In the preface to the reprint of The Single Bed in the Purse, Zhang Xiaoxian has a detailed explanation (see Notes). She herself wrote only the first paragraph at the time, and the rest was continued by someone else. It is said that it was created collectively by some students of Yangming Shennongpo Medical College on BBS, and finally circulated on the Internet.

This statement is relatively reliable at present and can be used as a conclusion. It's a pity that the BBS of Yangmingshan Medical College can't be logged in, and no more effective direct evidence can be found.

The Furthest Distance in the World" was originally written by Pushkin.

The author of this poem is not Tagore, but from "Single Bed in a Purse" by Zhang Xiaoxian, a famous Hong Kong romancer. "The Bird and the Fish" is also known as "The Farthest Distance in the World", and the full text is as follows:

The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but I am standing in front of you, and you do not know that I love you;

The farthest distance in the world is not that I am standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you, but that you are obsessed with love, but you can't say that I love you;

The farthest distance in the world is not that I can't say that I love you, but that I want you to be heartbroken, but I can only bury it deep in my heart;

The farthest distance in the world is not that I can't say I miss you, but that we love each other, but we can't be together;

The farthest distance in the world is not to love each other, but not to be together, but to know that true love is invincible, but pretend not to care;

Therefore, the farthest distance in the world is not the distance between trees, but the branches of trees that grow on the same root, but cannot cling to each other in the wind;

The farthest distance in the world is not that the branches of the trees cannot rely on each other, but the stars that look at each other, but there is no track of intersection;

The farthest distance in the world is not that the stars do not meet, but that even though the trajectories meet, they are nowhere to be found in the blink of an eye;

The farthest distance in the world is not nowhere to be found in an instant, but it is destined to be unable to meet before they meet;

The farthest distance in the world is the distance between birds and fish, one soaring into the sky, the other diving deep into the bottom of the sea.

The author has a lot of theories, one is from Zhang Xiaoxian's ** "Single Bed in the Purse", and the other is from the famous Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore's poetry collection "Birds", but "Birds" does not include similar verses, probably because the last sentence of one version has "The farthest distance in the world is the distance between birds and fish", which is considered by some to be created by Tagore, but so far there is no objective evidence that Tagore has created similar verses.

The original sentence is: "The farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, not the difference between heaven and earth, but I am standing in front of you, but you don't know that I love you", which can be found in Zhang Xiaoxian's work "Single Bed in a Purse". The poem "The farthest distance in the world" is now in many versions, and most of them are created by netizens.

The original work was by Zhang Xiaoxian, and was later translated into English by Tagore.

The author is Rabindranath Tagore, and this poem was published in the 14th issue of Reader magazine in 2003, signed by Rabindranath Tagore, and sourced from "Birds".

Tagore. There are poetry collections, a hundred years ago, and now they have been picked up and translated by non-mainstream people.

Recently, I stumbled upon someone on the Internet who said "the farthest distance in the world".

It was not written by Tagore, but a relay poem by Zhang Xiaoxian and a group of students, who looked up information on the Internet when they were greatly shocked
