Poem by Jia Baoyu Jia Baoyu was a teenage boy living in privilege but ungrateful and rebellious. He did not appreciate what he enjoyed and fancied to be born as a servant girl. In your greed, you forget how hard it is to digest, You indulge in the source of sour and pungent. You shower it on your prayer, From which you chew the flesh away. You never progress straight ahead, But block other people’s way like a crab. With no heart nor spine, You celebrate cannibalism with a cup of wine. https://www.viewofchina.com/poems-on-crabs/
