Abstract
Let be a closed Riemannian manifold with a parallel 1-form . We prove two theorems about the curve shortening flow in . One is that the {\csf} in exists for all in , if it satisfies on the initial curve . Here is the unit tangent vector on . The other one is about the convergence. It says that in a closed {\Rm} , assume the curve shortening flow exists for all and its length converges to a positive limit, then for all . Here denotes the second fundamental form of in .
