I love this land.
If I were a bird,
I should also sing with a hoarse throat:
This land hit by the storm,
This river of sadness and anger will surge forever,
This endless wind,
And the gentle dawn from the forest ...
-Then I died.
Even feathers rot in the ground.
Why do I often cry?
Because I love this land deeply. ...
Make an appreciative comment
The poet Ai Qing is an outstanding singer who is good at expressing his deep feelings. I love this land was written in the most difficult years of resisting Japan and saving the nation.
How to express the deepest love for the motherland? The poet did not directly shout out slogans such as "love you", nor did he directly express himself. Instead, he uses symbolism to turn the lyric hero into a bird and concentrate all his feelings on the "singing" of the bird's "hoarse throat".
"Singing" is not soft and ethereal, but extremely dignified and deep. Because this "storm-hit land" of the motherland is being ravaged and facing extinction. Finally, through the death of a bird, the poet's sincere heart is reflected, and his poetry is sublimated to the highest point, and he will be integrated with the land of the motherland after his death.
