Singing heroic songs, seeking truth from the east, learning social science is difficult to save the country.
Studying hard, trying to break through difficulties and hardships, it is difficult to reward the ambition of the sea, and it is also a heroic move to go abroad for truth.
Original poem:
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.
Author: Zhou Enlai
1, the sentence "Song of the Great River, Turn East" is magnificent, expressing Zhou Enlai's determination to seek the truth eastward. Song of the Great River refers to Su Shi's poem Niannujiao Red Cliff Nostalgia, which has just been sung with great pride. At the beginning of the poem, there is a sentence "The river of no return, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic figures of 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.
2. "Intensive research to help the poor" refers to his goal of studying in Japan, that is, intensive research in many sciences to save China from the brink of despair.
Zhou Enlai has had the lofty ideal of "studying for the rise of China" since middle school, and his era is also a period when the voices of "saving the country through industry" and "saving the country through science" are rising. In the tide of studying abroad, most young people in China have the desire to seek advanced ideas and technologies abroad in order to serve the country and save the country.
So he can give up studying in Japan when the domestic revolution needs it, and go to Europe to work and study for the needs of the revolution 1920.
3. The story of "Breaking the Wall in Ten Years" and Dharma Wall practicing Zen reflects the realm and pursuit of the poet's efforts. Dharma, a Buddhist monk from the West, crossed the river from Jiangnan to Shaolin Temple in Songshan, where he practiced silently for ten years, and finally successfully introduced Indian Buddhism to China and became the ancestor of Zen Buddhism.
Zhou Enlai said that studying in Du Dong should also have the spirit of Buddhism, and after graduation, you should break the wall and take off like a dragon. The theory of "breaking the wall" originated from the legend recorded in "Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties", saying that Zhang Sengyou, a famous painter in the Southern Dynasties, painted four dragons without eyes on the wall of anrakuji in Jinling. Once he pointed out the dragon's eyes, and the dragon flew out of the wall.
Zhou Enlai's ingenious combination of "wall-breaking" and "wall-breaking" is not only an artistic creation in rhetoric, but also an extraordinary pursuit of life.
4. "The hero who jumped into the sea is hard to pay" shows that he gave up the heroism of studying abroad for the revolution. "It's hard to get paid for jumping into the sea" means it's hard to get paid for jumping into the sea.
There are two understandings of "jumping into the sea". One means to jump into the sea to die. For example, in order to wake up the sleeping people in China, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea as a warning. Second, in the late Qing Dynasty, going abroad for truth-seeking was also called "jumping into the sea". I take a second opinion here, which may be more in line with the background of Zhou Enlai's poem.

Creative background:
This poem was written in 19 17, on the eve of Zhou Enlai 19 studying in Japan.
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.
