Author: Zhou Enlai (contemporary)
The great river song turned to the east, and the dense group helped the poor.
Ten years of broken walls, it is difficult to reward the sea and be a hero.
River of no return is a seven-character quatrain written by Zhou Enlai, a revolutionary and politician in China, in 19 17. This poem fully shows the author's great ambition of "flying through the wall" when he was young and his revolutionary spirit of dedicating himself to saving the country. The whole poem is full of strong feelings and heroic momentum.
Creation background
19 17, Zhou Enlai, who was only 19 years old, traveled to Japan and wrote Song of the Great River. 19 19 In September, Zhou Enlai resolutely gave up the opportunity to study in Japan and decided to return to China in order to join the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal tide of the motherland. On the eve of his return to Japan, his old friend Zhang and others sent him a farewell dinner and asked for a book as a souvenir. Zhou Enlai presented this poem with a brush, and wrote the words "I wrote the correct poem when I was young" and "Go back to China for other interests, get ready and bid farewell to my friends" after the poem. The handwriting of this poem exists in the Museum of Chinese History.
The sentence "Song of the Great River" begins with great momentum, expressing Zhou Enlai's determination to seek truth from the east. Song of the Great River refers to Su Shi's lyric poem Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia, which begins with a sentence: "The river of no return is a romantic figure through the ages." Zhou Enlai used this code here, on the one hand, to show his heroic ambition, and on the other hand, to take care of his experience in crossing the sea. "Turn around and turn east", and turning off the oars indicates a firm choice. 1898 When Liang Qichao was exiled to Japan after the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, he wrote a poem: "There is Chung Shan Man ahead, turn around and ignore me!" Liang Qichao expressed his determination to leave China and go to Japan to seek the truth, and this poem by Zhou Enlai also reflected his ambition to save the country when he traveled eastward in 19 17.
