Shia Yu's poetry has long been noted for its characteristic of comedic and humorous discourse. To reply Yang Mu's inquiry into the possibility of tragic writing, Shia Yu tries to write about sadness in a long poem, "Leaving on a Jet Plane." Though piling up a tragic scene about the confrontation between affective subjects in the very beginning of the poem, Shia Yu cannot but reveal comedic discourse in later context. Three comedic paragraphs, "Humming popular songs, leaving on a jet plane," "Crossword game in a sleeping bag," and "Foreign language conversation and mathematics textbook" deviated from the whole poem, all bring about a pleasant sensation that overthrows and destroys the sadness in the beginning and in turn make contextual pathway escape from the initial tragedy. Examining the writing process of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" from contextual development, it is found that Shia Yu undergoes six transcriptions and continuing writings before giving a final text and shows repeated lingering and impetus toward the tragedy in the beginning. However, her return to the initial tragedy does not mean her continuing writing only the replication of former description. Instead, through two kinds of comedic rhetoric, "using punctuation marks to separate and note the sounds" and "contrasting and indicating the order of mechanism in a structure" in every transcription and continuing writing, Shia Yu branches out a new route from tragedy's stiff structure and makes "Leaving on a Jet Plane" unfold a sound effect of tragedy/comedy polyphony.
