Step 2 explain
"Cloud" is symbolic and represents a rainbow-like dream. It was reflected in the water, but it was not taken away. Therefore, bidding farewell to Cambridge is not to bid farewell to his alma mater, but to bid farewell to the Cambridge culture that brought the greatest change to his life. This is a farewell to Cambridge's ideals.
3. Introduction to the work
Farewell to Cambridge is a famous work by Xu Zhimo, a modern poet, and also a representative work of crescent poetry. The whole poem takes the emotional ups and downs when leaving Cambridge as a clue to express the deep affection for Cambridge's departure. The language is light and soft, and the form is exquisite and mellow. The poet paints a flowing picture by alternating reality and reality, which constitutes a wonderful artistic conception everywhere. It shows in detail the poet's love for Cambridge, his longing for his past life, and his helpless sadness at present, which is the swan song in Xu Zhimo's poems.
